Words cannot begin to describe how special this space really is. Never have I been in such a welcoming open kind environment. It is literally right next to the West Oakland BART station. Be aware that it is like a dorm style place of stay but closer to the fun comfort of a hostel. There are people from all over that come through and everything ties together PERFECTLY with the LOVELY Cassandra. I have been to MANY places of stay across the country and have never experienced such kindness. Everyone is very interactive and do not let that daunt you because it is all at your comfort. If you want to have a moment to yourself you are more than welcome to your space in your room. And if you are looking for a family away from family then you are also definitely in the right place. Such diversity in a truly comfortable home setting with others who are different and like minded so the conversations held are often VERY interesting and fun.
I will definitely be back again, I love you Cassandra!
