This was my first trip with my partner in the Bay Area and I convinced him to stay in Oakland for its location, convenience to the OAK airport and access to the city. Staying at Catherine’s made our experience that much better. Her space is in the basement level of the home with private access and no issues with street parking. I liked the convenient touches such as lighting when coming into the side and down to the Airbnb space, along with the lighting options in the basement. The kettle/tea/coffee were awesome, I loved the shower, and the bed mattress was comfortable. It is a pull out couch bed but felt sturdy and cozy with the bedding, mattress and pillows. There are also plenty of grocery stores, gas stations, freeway access, and restaurants nearby. I would definitely recommend her space for relaxation, business, or touring/leisure!
