Josh and his wife were great hosts during my visit. His wife greeted me as soon as I arrived and gave me a quick tour around their studio. She made me feel comfortable right from the start. I had a race Sunday morning and needed a good night rest my first night. The room was very cozy and quite - I had no problem fallling asleep. I would highly recommend booking Josh as your host if you're looking for a safe, affordable, and cozy place to stay in Oakland.
