We were in Oakland for a long weekend to attend a wedding, and shared the house with several friends, one of whom was comfortably able to sleep on the couch (there are two large beds fit for couples, and a smaller bed fit for one sleeper). Christine and Mike have an absolutely beautiful, large home, with a very nice little backyard and patio. The neighborhood is residential; lots of nice homes and rolling hills, and we were able to take some nice runs and walks through the area. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking ware and dishware, and the eating and living area is spacious. There also is a little gym in the garage that was available for use. We were quite easily able to access the rest of Oakland by car, and we even walked all the way downtown one day, which took about 45 minutes or so. All in all, if you want a large, comfortable home in a beautiful neighborhood, you can't go wrong. Christine also was very responsive to questions and messages through the AirBnB app, although we unfortunately did not get to meet her and Mike because they were out of town at the time. If we had another trip to Oakland planned with a big group, we'd definitely try to stay here again!
