My husband and I live in a small 1br house in North Oakland, CA. He's a scientist and I'm a midwife, we absolutely love living in Oakland and are happy to share our place with travelers.

We love finding opportunities for little adventures and there are lots of them all around the Bay Area. Our preference is to host people who are interested in spending a little time together while they're in town, rather than being just a place to crash.
