Charming, artful home hosted by a charming artful host! Lisa and her two adorable dogs made my stay in Oakland extra special. Clean, well appointed bedroom with a comfy and luxurious bed. I loved all family photos, and by the time I left I felt like family too. Of course, all the necessities were there too, including fluffy BIG towels & natural soaps & great coffee prepared by a charming visiting 'barrista'. But it's the genuine hospitality that made my stay special. Located in a garden filled nieghborhood of Oakland it was a pleasant walk to the friends I came to visit with.
