My fiancée and I found Shari's place to be nothing short of amazing during our 5-day trip. The description of the place doesn't do it justice! It seems that even though the place is small and cozy, every bit of space is functional without feeling crowded--even with two guests! To add to the coziness, there is even a wall-mounted heater that you're able to adjust when the cold winds blow through. The space really has everything you need to feel comfortable, and my fiancée liked the bed even better than the one we have at home, and she LOVES our bed! Haha. The place was within a 5-minute walk to multiple restaurants, stores, and public transit; the location was incredibly convenient! I also especially enjoyed the complimentary chocolates left for us--they were delicious and also felt like a nice personal touch. Any questions I had were answered quickly and kindly. I will definitely be staying here during my next trip to Oakland!
