Maria is very helpful, and her place was just as described. It is clean, comfortable and in a convenient location for access to San Francisco as well as Berkeley and Oakland. It is right near a Freeway on and off ramp. The block itself is not anything special, but it's located close to a lot of great areas in Oakland, including Lake Merritt and downtown. The price is right, the space is more than enough for 1-2 people, and I would stay here again.
