Pam and Richard are great hosts! They're friendly, knowledgeable, and their house is lovely. The room was bright, and spotless, with a comfortable bed, and having breakfast every morning was a nice treat, with lots of options. Great location -- easy access to San Francisco, downtown Oakland, and Berkeley via BART and bus. A couple of minutes walk from great restaurants, cafes and shops on Piedmont Ave. I had a terrific time staying with them, and highly recommend staying their home.
