I stayed at Faith's house for about 3 weeks while I looked for permanent housing, and her place was exactly what I needed. The room was large with a comfy bed, dressers, fast wifi, and a big desk that I could work from during the day. Having access to a washer/dryer and a fully stocked kitchen was great, and the location was perfect for apartment hunting in Oakland/Berkeley. There are 4 other rooms in the house with long-term tenants, so it was nice to see familiar faces each day. Faith was an amazing host - she offered to let me borrow her car and bike, and I got the apartment I was after thanks, in part, to a handwritten recommendation letter she wrote me. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during my first few weeks the Bay Area - thanks for everything!
