Pamela and Richard have a beautiful, warm home! I used to live in Alameda and travel back to Oakland often for work. Rather than sleep on a friend's couch, I decided to try Air BnB and voilá, met Pam and Richard. They were incredibly hospitable and both were kind enough to wait for me when I arrived after 10p. The bed was super comfortable, I felt very taken care of. Lots of privacy. I was gone most of the day so I didn't get to enjoy their front yard which has a lovely reading bench. I enjoyed meeting Pam and Richard too, they are longtime Oakland residents and so we had a lot to talk about. I will definitely come back.
