Shantanu and Modvi were very welcoming we shared a bottle of wine, enjoyed dinner together, and took full advantage of the beautiful views from their deck. My wife and I stayed with them for almost 2 weeks while we were waiting to close on our house nearby. They were such nice housemates making us feel right at home. They have a beautiful home in the peaceful hills of Oakland, far removed from the bustle. This experience epitomizes the wonderful diversity of Oakland.
