Eric was a great host. He was super responsive when I had questions, both leading up to and during my stay. I also appreciated that he was really flexible and easy going, particularly when my sister (and her small dog) decided to join me after I had already booked the reservation. I am moving to Oakland soon, and I was visiting to try to find an apartment in the area -- Eric provided me with a helpful map indicating the relative safety of the different neighborhoods. The location of the apartment was also perfect for me -- walking distance to tons of shops and restaurants as well as most of the apartments I was viewing. The space itself was as advertised -- small (but OK for two of us), very charming.
