Tori's house is very beautiful, bright and very close to the metro station. The neighborhood where it is located is nice and quiet, and if is a sunny day, you can eat in the back yard surrounded by her beautiful plants.
Her guests room is very nice, the bed is comfortable, and she is never lacking to put in it a vase with fresh flowers!
Tori is a very kind person, we shared our passion in cooking, hiking and reading. Is also very helpfull in every need, always ready to share food, newspaper, suggestions. Stay in her house is not only rent a room, but share your life with an extraordinary person! I stayed in Oakland to improve my english, and luckly she speaks very understandably, and her being communicative, helped me a lot... don't get me wrong, she is absolutely not a pushy, just very helpful!
If you like cats, this is your place! She has two wonderful cats, very sociable and full of affection to give.
I stayed in her house for a month, it was an unforgettable experience!
