A great place to stay! Phil provided us an extensive guide which answered all of our questions - how to get to the house, local spots to check out, public transportation, information about his (adorable & friendly) cat - pretty much anything we could have needed. He checked in on us a couple of times throughout our stay to make sure we were able to check in/out, and if everything was going ok. His place is conveniently located near a BART station and not too far from Lake Merritt - we were able to easily check out both Oakland & San Francisco! His apartment was cute, clean, well decorated - would recommend to anyone!
