Due to poor planning, my boyfriend and I did not book a hotel/airbnb on our last night in the San Francisco area so we scrambled to find a place to stay. We decided to find a place in Oakland instead and Barbara was very responsive and approved our stay just hours later. Barbara's home was very clean and beautifully decorated. Barbara herself was a gracious host -- she was very interesting to talk to, offered us drinks when we got there, and she made us feel at home and comfortable after a long day traveling.My boyfriend and I checked out the next day around 4:30AM and Barbara even made us coffee which she left in the fridge for us to heat up before we left. The room my boyfriend and I stayed in was also very clean but the bed did squeak every time one of us moved so if you are a light sleeper just be wary of that. Also, there is a 5-minute timer on the shower wall which wasn't a problem for us but if it takes you longer to get ready just also be aware. I did feel relatively safe in the neighborhood that Barbara's house was in but I would drive around the neighborhood instead of walk. Also, the house is conveniently close to the Temescal area where there were plenty of places to eat and drink. Overall, a great experience. Thanks Barbara for everything!
