Alice is a very efficient host. I had her cell phone number, and she answered any and all questions I had about the listing. The house looks like it's a duplex, so the entrance is actually on the right side and not in the front.

The room is small and tidy, which is exactly what we were looking for. My friend and I wanted to spend some time in San Francisco but we didn't want to pay to stay in the city. The room has its own little half-bath, a dresser with a mirror, a large bed, and a desk. It also had wifi and Alice provided us with the password immediately. I didn't ever meet Alice, but the entire experience was smooth.

The location is in Oakland, but it's right on the cusp of Berkeley so it's close to a lot of restaurants and shops. And of course SF.
