Suzy was an excellent host. Our stay went without a hitch, and her apartment is absolutely gorgeous! The place is actually even more spacious than the photos would suggest! Suzy offered to move her bed downstairs as the upstairs gets just the slightest bit chilly, but in the end it was totally unnecessary -- she's got a military grade comforter on that bed (so cozy!) and a space heater which we didn't even use. Internet is fast, surrounding area was lots of fun with great restaurants and coffee. Suzy even left us a great informational packet with stuff to do in the neighborhood. Missing Oakland! Would love to visit again :)
