We could not have had a better time. Susie is a master at making you feel at home and even though we didn't get to meet her because she was out of town, we certainly felt the wonderful ambiance of her eclectic and charming apartment. Everything you might ever need was available and in great working order. Susie left great coffee for us and we felt so at home. Would stay again next time we are in Oakland. Don't miss this one- it is so worth it!!!!!
