Hicham is a great host, very welcoming and helpful with everything in the house. Even before I arrived he called me twice and sent a couple of text messages to make sure I was safe because I couldn’t check on the appointed day. He really cares that you feel comfortable during your stay. For instance when I was cold he provided me with an extra duvet to keep warm.
We became like brothers the moment I stepped into the house. Being a busy person, he connected me to the high speed wi fi right way and took me out to the shopping and dining area of Oakland. The room was even nicer than in the photos, it had a writing desk, a very comfortable bed and hangers. Great overall experience, happy I stayed here.
The house itself is located near many bus stations so it is easy to go downtown, San Francisco and LA. If you drive their is ample and very safe parking either in Hicham’s driveway or on the streets.
I will be back in California very soon and hope to stay with Hicham again.
