Linda made me feel right at home during my first visit to Oakland. Her friendly, laid back vibe and knowledge of the area made my stay so relaxing. The neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful. I felt completely safe and comfortable. The room is exactly as pictured. It's a sunny, cheerful place. I was in town for a week long yoga training and Linda's home was perfect to rest and study. Everything I needed was just a short walk away; great coffee shops, restaurants (some great authentic Italian food! ) , several yoga studios and a Barre studio (I love to get my workout in!). I would absolutely book again with Linda.
