Richards home was just as pictured! It is in a great location. The neighborhood is in a prime location right off of the freeway, next to a few grocery stores, corner stores, and a cheap Uber ride to anywhere you want to go really. The actual neighbors is your typical Oakland neighborhood which didn’t bother us any. The people in the neighborhood are nice and literally minds their own business so don’t be disturbed by anyone that you may see. We felt safe in the house as well as walking to and from our cars. Parking is on the street but it’s free. (Our cars were also safe). Richards home has everything you will need literally and we enjoyed all of the extra touches Richard provided. The home is very modern and decorated nicely. The shower was probably our favorite part of the house. It’s HUGE! The water pressure is everything and the water gets super hot. The shower visits felt like vacation. Richard was an extremely great host, replied to messages within a few min, he definitely gave us privacy, and never bothered us. I didn’t even know he lived downstairs until I read the listing through after our stay lol. So don’t let that steer you away from this Airbnb. I will definitely stay again when I’m in the neighborhood.
