Paula's place was perfect! Just as described and exactly what I was looking for! A quick 15 minute walk to the Fox Theatre(I attended a concert.) and only a 20 minute walk(or an immediate $3 uber ride!) to and from the greyhound station. Paula herself is a great conversationalist and a well travelled spirit. I found her to be very warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Overall I had a great stay in Oakland!
