Katarro’s place was wonderful! My MIL stayed 14 nights; I communicated with Katarro on behalf of my MIL when booking the Airbnb and he was truly all around communicative — clear and prompt in all respects. Furthermore, the host was flexible and engaging to connect with when finalizing all trip details and ensuring we were doing alright during my MIL’s visit. Katarro’s place was beautiful! The plants he has in his apartment light up this home and makes me want to get a better green thumb. In fact, we didn’t mind watering his plants in order to ensure they stayed well hydrated. My MIL had easy access to all the building’s and apartment’s amenities while being close to Whole Foods and our home in downtown Oakland. I would highly recommend this home for anyone’s stay in Oakland!
