The queen bedroom at Gloria's place was beautiful and large. Comfy bed, lot's of storage room, great book selection, and interesting antiques and furniture. Just a couple of blocks to Lake Merritt and Whole Foods. Gloria and her house-mates are friendly and welcoming. The stairwell is a bit narrow and potentially dangerous with no handrail, and the shared bathroom door doesn't seem to lock, so guests should be aware of that. It's an old home with character! The dogs are sweet but they do bark a lot as guests enter, but all was quiet after 10 p.m. Thank you for letting me stay with you! I enjoyed it.
