This was my first time staying in an Airbnb, always been a hotel person, and this was a perfect entry into the Airbnb community. Love, love, LOVE Ansel’s place! The beautiful and thoughtful art of some of my favorite artists immediately caught my attention when looking for an Airbnb in Oakland. I reached out to Ansel prior to booking to confirm that his place was close to the event that I was attending. Being in a tiny home was a new experience and icing on the cake!
Ansel checked in with me to confirm that everything was good and to reiterate to reach out if anything was needed. He was responsive in his communication to my questions.
The house was clean and welcoming. I immediately felt at home. The thoughtfulness that Ansel put into everything was greatly appreciated. There were clear and visible check-in instructions both in app and upon arrival. Labels to identify where need-to-know items are located (recycling, trash, snacks, etc.) were much appreciated. Complimentary snacks were a wonderful surprise treat! Everywhere I needed to go was about 20 minutes away. The tiny home is centrally located and quick drive the major highways.
I had questions about Airbnb hosting and Ansel took the time to share his experience and answer questions. I love everything about Ansel’s place and my experience here, and already thinking about when I can plan my next trip to Oakland.
