Just like it's hostess, Dorian's place is welcoming, stylish, and classy. The pictures don't do justice to the timeless beauty of this villa. It really belongs on the pages of architectural digest and it's clear that the decor was selected with attention to detail. My room was surrounded by windows on 3 walls and was bathed in natural light. While I was meant to be on a working vacation, the serene setting left me totally relaxed and not very productive. Dorian was such a gracious hostess and I will definitely stay here next time I visit Oakland. It's really an Airbnb gem and I highly recommend a stay here!
