Beth’s place was great! I felt very safe traveling as a solo female, check in and communication was fantastic. A bit smaller than the pictures make it seem, but it is also a lot cozier than the pictures! The private outdoor space with a wall of windows -with curtains- was perfect for controlling how much Oakland I wanted at the moment. The TV set up is great and the kitchen was stocked with essentials (silverware, wine opener ect).
Although I didn’t use it, the parking spot is a nice treat! Especially since the location is so close to Piedmont. Regarding the noise, there is quite a bit of cars coming and going in the lot next door… and it appears the neighbors have a few chickens. If you are a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs (the noise machine is a clear indicator that the host listens to concerns and does their best).
