Sheryl's place was outstanding to put it simply. I'd leave more than 5 stars if I could, ha! It's located in a great neighborhood, very close to Lake Merrit and downtown Oakland. This might sound a little silly, but even though the pictures of the space definitely look good, I don't think they do it enough justice, it's a really neat, cool space. Sheryl was an amazing host and checked up on us enough to let us know she really cared about us having a good stay! Embarrassingly, we locked ourselves out once and luckily she was there to help us out with a spare key- you can't really expect this out of a host since they might be busy/have a life too, but I feel it's worth mentioning, she really is a great host. The space is also very nice, clean, and is beautifully decorated. The view was a nice surprise too- the house sits on a hill. Lastly, we caught a few glimpses of the dogs in the back yard and they seem very sweet :). We would definitely recommend Sheryl's place and would absolutely stay here again!
