Anna is an amazing host -- gracious, professional, responsive, and ultra kind. She handles any issue that comes up with grace and aplomb. She's super attentive and also very respectful of privacy. Couldn't ask for better.
The space itself has met my needs well. Having amenities like a real kitchen (inc. dishwasher, electric kettle, microwave, and range/oven) and a washer/dryer is great for convenience. It's also sweet to have a separate bedroom, living space, and kitchen. There are old school charms like hardwood floors and a brick fireplace that make the space feel extra cozy. I also appreciate that Anna allows dogs. My good boy has also been very comfortable here!
As Anna says, the house is on a busy street, so if that's not for you, take heed. If you're a seasoned urbanite and a sound sleeper, this place is a great value and a quick drive to downtown Oakland, Redwood trails, and San Francisco. Thanks for hosting me, Anna!
