Linda responded immediately to my last-minute request to stay in a bedroom in her gracious home. Located in a quiet, charming neighborhood within walking distance of the small "uptown" on Piedmont Ave, the historic Morcom Rose Garden, and the vastly impressive Mountain View Cemetery (designed by famed architect Frederick Law Olmsted), there is much to peruse without a car. The roomy bedroom has a large window admitting beautiful natural light and fresh air, a very comfortable bed with luxurious bedding, a small desk, plenty of drawer space, large closet, and attached bathroom with an excellent shower. The spacious kitchen downstairs has everything for preparing any kind of meal and I was invited to help myself to food for breakfasts and snacks, including wine and beer. I stayed four nights and felt a warm welcome the entire time. I highly recommend this airbnb and look forward to another stay there the next time I am in Oakland.
