I stayed here for 2 nights as I had a conference at Berkeley. The place is very clean, and the communication with Cathy, the host, was really very smooth. I was able to park my small car at the doorway, which was super great, as I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my car on the street. I just want to point out that the place is located in the West Oakland, which is still quite sketchy area, but we didn't have any problem while we stay.
