Elizabeth is very welcoming. You are given your own separate shower/bathroom and private room. You feel at ease with the amount of privacy at the Prancing Pony. There is free wifi which was pleasant, considering you don't have to go out of your way to find a coffee shop with wifi. The neighborhood is relatively safe and within walking distance to a Whole Foods. If you happen to find yourself there during a First Friday in Oakland, it's walkable from her place.
