Gloria is a great host – anyone would be lucky to stay with her! She provides such a genuine and inviting presence, I truly felt like I was at home staying with her. She communicated clearly throughout our trip, gave us advice on local life, and provided us a safe welcoming space to easily come and go from. Her home is right next to lake Merritt and an easy walk to all the Grand Lake shops/BART. The bed she provides is incredibly comfortable and the room amenities (coffee, microwave, fridge) make it super easy to relax at the house. I would highly suggest Gloria's home to anyone!
