If you're looking to visit the Bay Area, Ahmad's place is a hidden gem. It's located a short walk from the West Oakland train station, so you get to be one train stop away from the heart of SF without paying the high price. My original AirBnB host cancelled on me last minute, and Ahmad was very accommodating about my late arrival and short notice booking. He stayed up to greet me and made sure I have everything I need. The room itself is very spacious (Yyyyyuge!), with its own bathroom and everything was super clean. And Laila is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet :)
