The home and host are amazing. Some things to expect that we experienced.. (please remember though, these are things the hosts cant fix so it's no negativity towards them just something I wish was mentioned in the previous reviews so we could have planned better)
1. The street is very loud. There is no AC in the home which is fine because there are fans and a nice breeze but we left them open at night and we were woken up at 3am and on because of just a lot of outside noise. We shut the windows but then it got warm/stuffy.
2. I wish we were warned about the parking. We rented the home from sun-tue. MON/WED/FRI there is no parking from 12am-4am. They do offer a very small parking spot right at the entrance but I have a full size sudan and it would not fit. So I had nowhere else to park and I ended up getting a $66 parking ticket.
Other than that it was great. They thought of everything you could possibly need and it was made available. I especially liked their little outside balcony. I enjoyed coffee in the morning and a beer at night.
Also the host were very accommodating to questions and info about Oakland. Definitely would stay here again, but maybe on the weekend next time to avoid parking issues.
