Lydia was very caring and friendly and treated me like a family member. She even took me around town - that was so nice of her. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable. I slept so well in it. Lydia has a dog and two cats, so it’s for animal lovers! Her home is located near the bus and in a residential neighborhood. I will stay here again when I come to Oakland again. Thanks Lydia! You’re a great host!!!
