This review is a little delayed due to still being on the road but I couldn't possibly let another day go by without letting everyone know how WONDERFUL our stay with Barbara was.

My friend Devon and I arrived in Oakland mid-afternoon in the pouring rain and instantly found comfort in Barbara's lovely home. Barbara is incredibly warm and friendly and we loved spending time chatting with her and swapping stories. She went out of her way to share her knowledge and advice regarding San Fran and Oakland which was greatly appreciated - by the time we left we felt like we had a new friend.

The room is really comfy and we were provided with an electric heater to help combat the (unexpected) coolness of the rainy days. The kitchen is also very functional and even though we didn't cook we did get a sample of one of Barbara's yummy homemade cakes.

Overall we would throughly recommend staying here and will definitely do so again if our travels take us back again in the future.

Thank you Barbara!! :)
