Marwen's house is located in Oakland, CA. While It's not an ideal neighborhood for peace and quiet, Marwen's home is clean, has some stylish touches. He provides free breakfast for his guests and he cooks every now and then. Marwen himself is an amazing person. He is caring, fun to interact, friendly and just a good guy. I lived in his home for three months during my travel nursing assignment and I felt at home in his house. As far as the neighborhood, I was a bit shocked and afraid when I first arrived but the neighborhood is actually safer than I had expected. The neighbors are friendly and look out for each other. I know Marwen's neighbors better than I know my own neighbors 😄. I would definitely stay at Marwen's residence if I came back to Oakland area. He's such a wonderful person to be around and his son is so adorable.
Also, Oakland folks are so friendly and full of energy. There's a strong sense of community here and outsiders aren't left out.
