We stayed at Mike’s place (the Queen) for 9 days over the Christmas holidays. We were initially hesitant to book a place that didn’t have any reviews. However, the house was even better than described. It was very clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable; everything that we needed was provided. Most importantly, since it was the holiday season, it felt just like home. We are a family of four and there was more than enough space. The neighborhood felt safe and we were walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Although there was no on-site parking, we were able to easily find parking either right beside or within half a block of the house. In addition, Dennis - the co-host, was always available to answer any questions we had and to provide any assistance that we required. The next time we are in Oakland, the Queen will be our first choice. Thank you Mike and Dennis!
