Wanda gave my sister and me a wonderful Airbnb experience staying in her beautiful house. The photographs do not give it the justice it deserves. The house is very clean, homely and beautifully furnished. The deck outside is a great place to sit and eat and also soak up the sun and watch the humming birds drink from the feeders. The garden is lovely, full of flowers, trees and vegetables. The house is situated in a very quiet, safe and friendly neighbourhood. There is plenty of on street parking. There are lots of shops near by and restaurants too. The city of Oakland and San Francisco are both easily accessible using the bus, BART or car and even ferry.
When we arrived Wanda left us some essentials in the fridge which was very thoughtful. There were also essential ingredients on hand if we wanted to cook anything. In fact we did cook and used Wanda's amazing stove which was a joy to cook on!
We felt very at home and she was the perfect host. Wanda lives in a cottage near by and was always there when we needed anything, wonderful company and not at all intrusive. She is an excellent host. She went out of her way to help two very naive travellers with information about the area, transport and made us feel part of the neighbourhood whilst we were there. After a busy day in San Francisco we would always look forward to going 'home' and putting our feet up.
So travellers if you stay at Wanda's house please be sure to talk to her as she has lots of information about San Francisco and Oakland to share. She has a generous heart and made our stay a very special Airbnb experience.
Thanks Wanda
