Deanna’s place is in a safe and peaceful neighborhood within the walking distance of shops and the lake. She was responsive to our in-app texts and even provided us with baked goods for breakfast on some mornings. The front porch was beautiful and it’s a great place to take in the sunset. It’s spacious for two people and everything was clean and in working order. It was so much better than staying at a local hotel, for the price, amenities, and hospitality we experienced. Would recommend this place for those looking for a beautiful location and a peaceful stay in Oakland.
