Our group of 12 had a great visit at Cathy's property! It's a beautiful property and everything was as advertised. Cathy was a great host, great communication, and was flexible in accommodating the needs of our small group. Each space was beautifully updated and decorated and stocked with all of the supplies we would need. There were great instructions provided for all of the things we needed to know about.
There are some other reviews about the neighborhood. It does look to be a little on the rough side but our interactions with the neighbors were all really positive throughout the week, everyone was really friendly to us and we didn't have any negative or worrying interactions. Oakland can change block to block so as long as we stayed in the few blocks surrounding the Airbnb we felt pretty safe. That being said, if you are someone who gets spooked easily this neighborhood might not be for you.
