Yang is a very nice and receptive host, but I have to give an accurate review. I, myself, am a host and have over 170 reviews, so I know how this goes. Everything is tidy and organized, but there still seems to be construction going on. The garage doesn’t even have a door leading into the house, so there’s the threat of sawdust and construction debri in the air. The floor of the room was filthy. I spilled water on the ground and wiped it with a white towel and the towel came back black. Also, you’ll definitely need a car to stay here, as it’s high up narrow, curvy roads in the Berkeley Hills. This room also had no cell phone reception and the WiFi is spotty. I had asked her before booking if the WiFi was good and she said yes. I had to go to the living room to get better reception, which was still on the slow side.
The good thing is that this room was probably the cheapest in the area and beats comparable hotel prices in seedy areas of Oakland. And, of course, Yang communicates really well and is very nice.
