This was my first time ever using Airbnb and based on this experience I will be using Airbnb again and stay with Amy again if I need to visit Oakland or San Francisco in the future. I am going to repeat many of the things already said by others. On our first meeting Amy gave me all the basic facts I needed and offered local knowledge of things I might like to see and do which I would never have found in any listings magazine.

I needed a place at short notice as a place to work from for a few days, having a microwave and a fridge meant I could do my breakfasts and little snacks when I needed during the day, in the evening, there are so many places nearby within less than a 10 or 15 minute walk at very reasonable cost there is no need to cook. There is a Trader Joes less than 10 minutes walk away.

As I was working, having internet access was essential, internet access via Wifi was great, better than many hotels, no problems using VPN.
