I loved everything. Jen's place was clean and neat as pictured, and quiet. It's close to to eclectic Ashby neighborhood, that has a cool farmer's market and brewpub and eateries, and gentrified Rockridge. It's very close to buses going to San Fran/Berkely and in between 2 Bart train stations. Jen was kind enough to offer to pick me up at Ashby since she was in the area.

When leaving, on my way to the airport I could not locate my passport and Jen replied to my text immediately and was supportive. Thank goodness I found it in time, due to her calming influence! I would definitely stay at Jen's again when returning to Oakland. I got to meet her pooch – a definite bonus. :)
