I recently did a cross country move for a job and decided to use AirBnB for two months while I looked for a place. Karin was a gracious host, very welcoming and very patient with me while I adjusted to the new area- and the methods of composting and water conservation. The room had a beautiful view, was in a quiet and safe neighborhood and was a quick trip for me to work (downtown Oakland). There was a great coffee shop (Ultimate Grounds) that was within walking distance and I frequented during my stay with Karin.
