Omar was a great host! He even did a little extra to make our little one’s stay nicer too (ex bumpers on table edges). It’s a private space in a larger house. The bathroom separates the living room & bedroom. No TV but there was WiFi - wish we had brought a laptop or tablet for the evenings, but it wasn’t all that missed since we were busy visiting friends or playing with our baby.
Pros:
- spacious living room area
- two sinks in bathroom
- warm on the cold nights
- quiet neighborhood
- <10 min walk to Safeway (warning the hill is steep)
- VERY close to the fwy (not so close that you can hear cars, but close enough you’ll be on it in less than 5 mins) - quick drive to downtown Oakland, SF and Berkeley
- close to Piedmont area as well as Grand Ave
Cons:
- mattress wasn’t comfy (but to be fair we’re pretty spoiled by the one we have at home. This one caused pressure points to be sore/go numb)
- parking (street parking wasn’t super hard to find, but one time we did end up more than a block away)
