Dave is a fabulous host, making sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. His place is a neat old home in a very nice neighborhood in Oakland. Great location - near College Ave and public transport without the hassle of limited street parking. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out and genuinely feel at home. The backyard had fun things for my kids to keep busy with, but the photos are a little dated and advertise a more tidy/fresh backyard than is there now. Dave’s place feels more like staying with family than a traditional rental. He has many personal items on shelves and visible but nothing felt too precious and I wasn’t nervous about my kids breaking anything. I imagine this makes cleaning more of a challenge but the cleaner does a good job. The kitchen is fully stocked with one, two, or even three, of most things. I appreciated this, especially during Covid, when you really don’t want to run to the store for salt. Overall, our time in Dave’s home was good and we thank him for his attentiveness.
