Loren and Dolores are thoughtful, kind, and great communicators. I really enjoyed staying in their backyard "glamping" space. It's very peaceful, with a pretty garden just outside the door. Very homey. Although it's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on top of a small hill, there are 2 bus stops 1 block away, where you can catch a quick ride to 2 different BART stations - Fruitvale and West Oakland. The Fruitvale area has some delicious food, including the pupusas @ Platano #2, several good taquerias, and excellent churros, beignets, and ice cream in the Fruitvale Plaza.
