I was a long-term guest of Lisa's in the Oakland Hills. This was by far the best choice I could have made as a recent Bay Area transplant! The town-house is right off 580 and there is ample street parking. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill, but having a vehicle is recommended. I was blessed to find Lisa in that I had my own bathroom, fast Wi-Fi (my 2 personal deal-breakers) and I had the lower floor pretty much to myself. She offered access to her kitchen and washer and dryer upstairs. The bedroom had a walk-in closet, a balcony, a terrific view, and was peaceful. As a longtime resident of the Bay, Lisa offered inside knowledge about Bay Area happenings, restaurants, and night-life. She is also an excellent cook and often allowed me to dine with her and her friends. I enjoyed my stay with Lisa and would let her stay at my home anytime.
