BEAUTIFUL and RELAXING. Chinasa was a lovely host. Her home is beautiful, clean, and easy to commute to and from walking or using public transportation, there was also parking in the area if needed. There is a gas station on the corner that's very convenient for snacks. The room my husband and I stayed in had beautiful natural lighting, simple yet elegant furniture, and very comfortable and cozy bedding. The shared bathroom downstairs was very clean. We stayed for three nights but you could happily and comfortably have stayed there for longer than that. The house is quiet and peaceful. The freeway did not bother us at all and didn't interrupt our sleep. I highly recommend this spot if you want to explore the historic and beautiful community of Oakland and if you're wanting to visit Berkeley/San Francisco the Bart station is only a 5 minute walk away.
