Steve’s place is a great little island of serenity in bustling urban center Oakland. It was stocked with everything I needed for simple meals, and the bed was super comfy. Others have sung the praises of the water pressure and while it’s not something I would’ve thought of, it does feel like a thousand water fingers giving you a mini massage. If you are sensitive to fragrance, it’s worth noting that there was a rather noticeable scent in the cleaning products or air freshener—didn’t bother me a bit, but I have a partner with a keen nose, and if they were with me, it might. The garden outside is an absolute oasis. Communication was excellent. Thank you Steve! A wonderful landing spot for my first trip to your beautiful city.
