We are small town people and were visiting our Daughter in Oakland. It was all a bit overwhelming for us. Patricia's condo offered a peaceful, quiet, and secure refuge for us. It reminded us of a French chalet in the mountains. The condo was very clean and comfortable. There is a variety of art and interesting things in the decorations to see and wonder at. Every where you look there is something new and interesting. For the two of us it was the perfect place. You will be very hard put to find a better and more accomodating host than Patricia. She's our new friend in Oakland!
