I had a great stay with David and Suellen and would recommend their place to anyone. The house is in a diverse, interesting part of Oakland. The room is clean and nice, with a private bathroom and full sized desk with a monitor. But the backyard is what really makes the place... several decks with plenty of seating/shade/wifi, hammocks, cacti, hummingbirds, mini golf, hot tub, various dogs, cool neighbors, etc. David and Suellen are super friendly and interesting people. If you ask nicely David might take you kayaking in the bay. And Suellen can tell you all about jumping off cliffs. I might book the place again just so I can hang out with them some more.
