Heauxtel (hōˈtel) Serenity

This Airbnb is a cultural experience, and it might not be for you. That’s ok. A meaningful specific can’t possibly please everyone. Racism, sexism, homophobia, etc have no place here. We are a predominantly Spanish-speaking community. You can purchase fresh Tamales, Pupusas, etc from our street vendors. We are next to an elementary school on a semi-busy street. You may hear roosters in the morning. You will see litter on the ground. You may hear loud trucks driving past. Password: #oaklandvibes
