My stay at peter's place was great. He is very friendly and hospital and cares a lot for his guests. He had a nice welcoming package (snack, water, wine, etc) on the first day that I arrived which was a relief since I was traveling for the whole day. His place is warm, well-decorated, and well-equipped. I could make my food and my coffee in his kitchen, and he had a rack of spices and ingredients that kindly offers you to use. The location is great in Oakland. Even if you don't have a car, there is a Lyft bike site on the next street and you can commute in the city. The BART station is in 5 min walk to go to SF. I totally recommend this place especially if you are thinking of a quiet and welcoming place for a long stay.
