3. Dream catcher

West Oakland

"My room was great. Super cute and clean. No complaints there. The problem I do have is I was not provided with check-in instructions. It smelled of dog piss quite intensely upon walking up to the property. The real kicker for me was how dirty the shared bathroom was. Toilet was gross, dried urine on the floor, the tub fills with water when showering. Sink covered in little hairs, toilet seat was always left wide open, garbage not emptied once."
