This is a very special place! Really amazing spot for someone traveling solo. It's great for when you don't need much space but would still like a place that has some TLC and a unique personality. Dado is an excellent host and you could tell takes great pride with little details to make sure that, despite staying in a converted garage (which some people might be skeptical of) you have a fantastic experience. I really appreciated small things like having the fridge filled with some fizzy water, a setup for making tea and a welcome note made from blocks! The location is great too, close to a lot of he coolest parts of Oakland.
The main thing is to just make sure you know what you're getting into when you stay here, obviously this is not a spot for a whole family to stay at or if you are expecting a big flatscreen TV and to spend a ton of time in the place, but if you want a compact, affordable, awesome spot for a single traveler this is a great choice! Will definitely stay here again
