I was visiting a friend in Oakland for a few days and needed a last minute place to stay. As a single woman traveling with a dog , I was nervous about the location being on a busy street and my safety. However, this was the perfect Airbnb stay for us. The neighborhood felt extremely safe. I consistently found easy parking, Chris and JoAnn offered to let me park in the driveway of the cottage for $10/day, but I quickly realized I didn't need it. The space was clean and had everything I needed. It was incredibly quiet at night and I slept soundly! It was also extremely nice to have a small yard space right in front of the cottage to let my dog out at night rather than walking around the block. I will definitely stay here again when I'm back in the area visiting!
