Everything was amazing! The place was clean, quiet, and easy to access. The view from the rooftop is stunning

Sterling was the perfect host for my travel to Oakland for two nights! I was looking for a place to stay in downtown that provided easy access to the BART and Oakland nightlife so I could check out the neighborhood before renting an apartment of my own. Sterling was gracious to show me around the area and set his place up perfectly for what I needed to be successful! Only positives to report here!

Sterling has an amazing home that is very central in Oakland, across the street from Lake Merritt. It is a very beautiful building and condo. He himself was extremely friendly and kind, and so easy to communicate with. The bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable and quiet. The next time i'm in that area, I can't wait to stay with him again!

Probably one of the best spots to be able to stay in Oakland because it's center city and not too far from BART. The house is amazing. The host is awesome. Totally weren't staying here again because of the amenities and how hospitable and courteous with easy access to the apartment. The plant life in the house is amazing and beautiful with the orchids are truly spectacular site to see.
