Diane and her husband, Benton, are the most friendly, welcoming and gracious hosts and went out of their way to make our visit to Oakland quite enjoyable and relaxing. For us, it was a very positive Airbnb experience, where we had the opportunity to learn more about each other during our pleasant conversations. Their home is spacious and clean, the bedroom is very large, with plenty of natural light and has everything you need for a lovely stay in this quiet and safe neighborhood. We hope to stay with them again next time we're in the San Francisco/Oakland area. We can highly recommend them - and as new hosts, we wish them all the best!
