Zita's place was a nice, comfortable space with everything you would need. There was easy access to the room, with an entrance separate from the main house, which made it easy to come and go without having to worry about disturbing anyone. Everything I needed was in the room, and the bed was very comfortable. The washroom, although separate from the room, was just a few steps away on the outside of the main house and the walkway was well lit when used at night.
Although the place is located in Oakland, it was easy to get into San Francisco by transit every day as that is where I spent the majority of my time. It is an easy 15 minute walk to the Ashby BART station, and from there it's about a 20-30 minute ride into the city to either the Embarcadero, Montgomery St, Powell St. or Civic Center stops (all downtown). As well, from the Ashby BART station, it's only a couple stops to the U of C Berkeley campus, which I would definitely recommend visiting!
Zita was very nice and a great host. She was very communicative and got back to me quickly whenever I had any questions or requests. Check-in was great as she was already home when I arrived and she gave me a quick tour of everything when I first got there. Check-out was also really smooth and easy, especially since I had a super early flight to catch on the last day.
Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend it. Great value, and although there's a bit of travel to get into the city each day, I would say it's definitely worth it.
