We live in a large loft. You will definitely be in the same room.

We now live in West Oakland california a few blocks from the West Oakland BART. We are one BART stop from SF or a very short drive (5-10 minutes) across the bay bridge.
We live in a large loft that affords very little privacy to our guests but as long as you are okay with it, so are we. Our couch is a blue vinyl throwback from the 1950's and is not very comfortable but we have inflatable things and a shag rug you can sleep on. We have a cat who could care less about you and your travels...

PLEASE SEND ALL COUCHSURFING REQUESTS TO SHEILA SATIN AS I AM TOO LAZY TO READ MY MESSAGES AND MY USUAL RESPONSE IS "AS LONG AS THEY AREN"T HIPPIES, IT's OKAY".

Matthew is a really likeable, mellow down-to-earth guy. He's a great cook, shares a lovely apartment with his partner Shelia, and appreciates a good Belgium beer and bad B rated films...what more can one ask for in a couchsurfing friend? :p

Matt is a lay back guy. Enjoy going to his place trying to spin records, having drinks, watching movies or just chilling talking to him and Shelia. I will be friends with these guys for a long time.

Matt is great, he was on my puzzle team and we all worked pretty well together. Matt and Sheila are a great, friendly, hospitable duo full of great energy and unique concepts to bring the community together. Keep wearing your smile!

Matthew and Shelia are Epic travelers you have to know. They know how to entertain as much as they party. Smarted, educated, well traveled and CS friendly. You don't want to miss any of their parties!!!!!

Matthew is down to earth, easy to get along with and loads of fun. He is a fantastic dj, doctor, and friend. I don't know how many times I've crashed on his and sheila's couch after partying. He puts up with me scaring his cat with my hula hoop and my half naked performances.

I stayed at Matt's home in my first couchsurfing experience. We had some fun at night with his brother and friends. Certainly, Matt, Sheyla and their cat are a good company.

Matthew rocks. Don’t let his suave looks deceive you. He is probably smarter than the average bear (which doesn’t say much, but that’s for you to decide). He has excellent taste in whiskey, a diverse taste in music and dances all night. I think there is a shortage of straight male dancers, so he gets bonus points. If I stay over their place, he lets me clean without any complaints. How about that? Ha!

I did not get to talk to Matthew that much (we were a lot of people at La Quincaillerie) but he seemed to be a great person, really interested in Montreal, and getting ready to party at the Mutek festival.

mister motthew. he's the anti-doctor, the posterchild for the party life, dj hopeful and america's next top model. we have been together many past lives, despite the fact that he doesn't believe in past lives. he's the quiet storm brewing behind me and sweeping me along this ride of life. welcome to motthewville.

Matthew was a very gracious, chill host. He introduced me to a great jazz club 'round the corner from his place, spun some great selections from his vinyl collection, and shared wonderful stories and observations about Boston, Long Beach, and life throughout the evening.

We met at a Bostonian Club. Intelligent, easy-going, nice person. Coming from California, he's certainly an asset for Boston.
