This is amazing find in Oakland! Manuel is a wonderful host, the house is warm and welcoming with absolutely everything you need for a perfect stay in the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Area. It was a little cool, so I was not able to take advantage of the fabulous backyard area, but it is well maintained, perfect for mediating or a BBQ. Manuel sees to every detail, everything is clean, neat easy to find. The neighborhood is quiet, close the freeway, local stores and restaurants. I wish I could this stay more than 5 stars - it really deserves 10!
