During my stay, I was told that this was the host's first time hosting from AirBnB. With that in mind, my stay was absolutely perfect. The response time and communication is perfect. The space itself is perfect. My favorite aspect of the modern space is the walk-in shower. The shower-head itself is large and square. With plenty of room to move around the shower was always a great place to relax and savor. The TV comes with standard Hulu, Netflix, etc. The aesthetic of the space itself is also very nice. The bedroom is in the far back nearly closed off by a door space, then the living area with coffee table, TV and couch. Two large closets all tied off by the double glass door facing their large backyard which sees the sunset. It was too cold and rainy for my stay to fully appreciate the double doors letting in fresh air or viewing the sunset in all it's shining glory, but I imagine that during Oakland's warm summer nights it would also be a perfect feature. Having a washer and dryer right outside your room was also very rewarding.
If there must be one down side to every fair review, mine would address hearing the children upstairs. This would be, at it's greatest a minor inconvenience that was hardly noticeable or remotely distracting. All of which was always sewed up no later than 8 P.M. every night. To say the least all of my expectations were exceeded and I would highly recommend this host for anyone looking for a great location in the Bay Area to stay a few days.
