Virginia was there to meet me when I arrived and she was very flexible with check in & out times. The room was exactly as described & I really appreciated having a private entrance so I could come & go without worrying about disrupting my hosts.
She provided beverages, fresh fruit, and yogurt; and there was a mini fridge to keep everything in. The bed was firm and comfortable - I slept well every night. And she has the softest, fluffiest towels ever... a welcome amenity after I got sunburned on my first day in the city.
Virginia's home is situated in a beautiful area overlooking the city and it was a treat to drive "home" each evening. I saw wildlife too: deer, raccoons, coyotes, etc. I would definitely consider staying here again if I return to Oakland.
