My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanda's and were very happy that we chose it over the other places we were considering. She was a very gracious host and I felt very comfortable with her. We arrived later than expected, tired after a long drive up from Los Angeles. We were so pleased that she had stocked the refrigerator with everything we would need for either a late night snack or breakfast: bagels, cream cheese, eggs, coffee, tea, half and half, and fresh basil and tomatoes from her lovely garden, We both slept very well each night-the beds were very comfortable. We had previously lived in Oakland and her house is a classic Oakland bungalow-beautifully decorated with lots of charm and space. The neighborhood felt very safe (but as with anywhere do not leave anything visible in your car). It was easy to find parking and the neighborhood itself, while conveniently situated, did not feel as congested as some other areas of Oakland. When one of us was out with the car, it was nice that there were areas to walk to. We walked down to Fruitvale Avenue where there was a wonderful organic market (Farmer Joe's) and La Farine-a great bakery. We also walked to Park Blvd. and had dinner at Marzano's one night. Great gourmet pizzas and salads. I highly recommend Wanda's place and would definitely stay there again.
