This is my second review, since I extended my stay with Zev for an extra month. I did so because this is a great place to stay! In my last review I wrote about how brilliant the house is and what a good host Zev is. This time, I can just add that west oakland is a really great neighborhood if you want to experience real east bay living. While close to the bart and with easy access to SF and Berkeley, it's also walking/biking distance to Oakland, which is a really great place to hang out. All in all, there's really no better place in east bay than Zev's place :)
