My family and I stayed at Amanda's place for just over 2 weeks. From the time we arrived we felt at home. The description of the rooms, amenities and the environment exceeded our expectations. We were greeted with lovely flowers and fruit from the garden- a welcome sight after a long flight from Asia.
We enjoyed cooking meals in the well stocked kitchen as well as sunrises and sunsets on the terrace. The home is located in Oakland and initially we thought it would be too far from some of the main sites in San Francisco and other parts of the Bay area, however each time we were on our way home there was a comfort in knowing what awaited us upon our return. The hosts were on site for a portion of the stay and this only added to our enjoyment as they are lovely and very helpful. We recommend Amanda's for any length of stay and definitely for those who want to place where they can feel at home in a city. As seasoned travelers, who have rented apartments, villas and beach homes in Crete, Bali, London and Phuket this has been one of our best vacations and we look forward to a return.
