Gloria was a great host. She and her family made me feel at home right away. It seemed like staying with second cousins you maybe don't know so well, but can tell instantly are good people and feel pretty comfortable around. It's a great house in a very walkable, active part of Oakland. Really great bedroom. There are some quirks with barking little dogs (never at night though) and it being an old house, but that was all part of the charm too. Highly recommended. I would definitely consider staying with them again.
