We enjoyed our stay at Diana's place and glad to have had a super nice host like Diana. She always made sure that our needs were met. The place is big enough too for my family and located in a nice and safe part of Oakland. We had our almost 2yr old son with us and the billiard and foosball sure did entertain him. Yes, you will need a car staying in her place. All in all, it was a good experience and we sure will book her place again when we visit again :)
