Rima and Jesse were great hosts and met me upon my arrival, even though my flight itinerary had been a little hard to predict. We chatted for a few minutes about travel, world events, and their experiences as airbnb hosts.
The house rules were provided in written format ahead of time and reiterated verbally at the beginning of my stay. I liked knowing what my hosts expected so that I could be a conscientious guest in their home.
I let both Jesse and Rima know that most of my time at their place would be my "introverting" time, since I had lots of social plans while I was staying in the area. For the most part, I came back to my room and either crashed or showered. The accommodations were simple, comfortable, and clean.
This place was great, and if my friends in Oakland are still living nearby on my next visit, I'd definitely stay here again!
