I stayed with Pam and Richard for a whole month and they were such wonderful hosts. I did not have a car when I first arrived so Pam took me around and showed me all the different parts of oakland, she gave me plenty of tips as of where to go in SF and the surrounding area. They've been in the area for many years and are very knowledgeable about it. The room was clean with plenty of closet space. The whole house is always very clean including the bathroom. Beautiful garden where you can sit and read or soak up sunshine. Great location
