Kathryn was a great host. She was super responsive, and accommodated my early check in. Self checkin/check out was a breeze. I basically had the whole place to myself, as there was only one other room occupied. There are two rooms washrooms so there were no issues with sharing the space. I didn’t make use of the living room or kitchen, as I used the space mostly to sleep, but the entire place was clean, cozy, well decorated, and matches the photos. I chose the location as it was close to a friend I was visiting, but there are loads in restos within walking distance. It’s a cute neighbourhood and I’d recommend this spot if you’re in Oakland. As a woman of colour on her own, I felt safe in the neighbourhood, including walking home from close by at night.
