We spent 1 month with Sudha and can confirm she is the most amazing host! She is so welcoming that you immediately feel at home. She is empathic and generous and does everything she can to make you feel good.

As it was my first time in the US and my boyfriend was working all day long, I felt a little bit lonely. So several times, Sudha took me for a hike in the morning and a coffee at her favorite coffee shop . On President Day, she suggested she could gave us a lift to Stinson Beach on her way to a meeting. And we had such an amazing time there! This is only a few examples of how thoughtful she is.

Her loft is spacious and nicely decorated, with all commodities and everything you need to cook. The room is cosy with a comfortable bed. It is far enough from the rest of the loft, so it offers a lot of privacy which was great.

Only negative point : the neighborhood is quite remote. Though you can make it by foot and public transport, you'll better enjoy it with a car.The Fruitvale BART station is 10 min walk away. And it will take you 20 min by BART to go to downtown Oakland and 40 min to downtown San Francisco.
