this place is such a gem. amazing details that would give any design or interior design nerd sweaty palms (reclaimed wood, subway tiles, beautiful pottery, incredible copper backsplash, oh my!). It's a super easy location for anyone commuting into SF without a car--I walked down to casual carpool in ten minutes and reached my office near the Ferry Building in an hour--I hear there is also a bus that goes directly into SF and might be even easier. nice, plentiful hot water and so quiet.....that bedroom is like a cave with the comfiest bed and lovely darkness. it is in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Oakland and you can easily walk down the hill to amazing bars and restaurants galore. I will stay here every time I come to the Bay Area. Your hosts could not be nicer or cooler, they are the kind of people who know what's good and tell you all about it if you ask.
