In general, I had a very comfortable and great stay. The facilities are clean and it is nice to be able to use the kitchen and fridge, which were both clean!
Also, the location with just a 7 Minute Walk go Bart Station West Oakland is very practical. I especially appreciated the garden, which is a great hideaway from the city to winddown and hangout with many seating opportunities. The bathroom and kitchen are right in front of the room which is practical. Bathroom was also mostly clean.
The bed is very big for a single person, and normal size for two and overall quite comfy!
The house is also beautiful from the outside.
Traci is a very welcoming, inclusive host, always happy to help out.
The pictures give the impression of a much brighter space. As the window was very small and the house close to another neighboring building, there is almost no natural light coming into the room and it’s not very well aired through. Although I had my windows open the whole time, there wasn’t the possibility for a lot of fresh air to come in, which led to the room being a bit stuffy and airless most of the times.
The walls are also very thin and there is one room right next to it with a locked door in between, which means that you can hear the movements of the person next to you quite clearly and if there’s talking you can hear it very very clearly.
It’s just something to be aware of for light sleepers.
