My friends and I did a quick weekend trip to Oakland from Los Angeles for a Physician Assistant graduation. Julia was very quick to respond to my inquiries and was gracious to allow us to stay in her home. She was accommodating with a late check-in and made sure we had all the details necessary for our stay. Her guest room had all the essentials, a super comfy bed, and a wondrous heater/AC unit. Although we did not use all the amenities, we still appreciate the possibility (kitchen, tv, etc). I personally loved all the books she had on the shelves and coffee table. Their home is in a really good neighborhood and I felt safe, even though there we no curtains in the living room. We were also able to uber/lyft to Emeryville nearby with no trouble and at a low cost. We had a great experience and hope future guests do too. THANK YOU JULIA & FAMILY!!! God bless.
