Pamela and Richard make you feel welcome as a personal guest and not just another lodger. Their home and my room are spacious, beautiful decorated and made me feel relaxed, just as if it were my own home. While parking in this area of Oakland can be very limited there was always a place for me to park my rental car within 200 feet of there home. If you have a car this is a big deal. Pamela provided me with a selection of breakfast items including honey from her own bees. When I come back to this area I will always try to book a room with Pamela and Richard.
