Donald is such a sweet host. This was my first experience on airbnb and it was absolutely amazing! The amount of amenities was astounding and I never had to run to the store! There is a delicious sandwich shop right on the corner that i frequented when i was feeling being around the house more than exploring. There was some wine and local beers, along with an assortment of food in the fridge as well. If you want an amazing jungle oasis away from the rest of the world this is the place to go. The area surrounding Donald and Sandra’s is a little on the rough side but seems to be a relatively nice part of Oakland regardless. I am not from the area but I understand all of Oakland can be a little dangerous so just air on the side of caution. I would just say to be smart after dark and to take ubers or if Donald is around and free he will happily take you to the ferry or BART. This was such a wonderful experience for me and my little dog I can’t gush over it enough. Just such an amazing and beautiful backyard perfect for bonfires and lazing around before starting your adventures. Felt very safe leaving my dog there, Donald even put an extra little fence up because she’s a small girl and had the slight chance of slipping through a small part of the bigger fence. Honestly the hospitality is ridiculous and the amount of privacy is endless. Thank you so much Donald for an oasis away from home.
