Mark was great about keeping in contact leading up to our check in and made it easy for us to check in and get set up in our room. The space is great and very unique. It's basically a small office/room detached from their main home. Set in the backyard it's very quiet and cozy. The location is great as well with main thoroughfares just outside of the neighborhood. Parking was a little tricky as it's all street parking but we didn't have too many issues finding a spot. You may have to park next door or across the street. Overall it was a great place to stay and would gladly stay here again if ever in the Oakland area.
