A great bargain especially for the Bay Area. We stayed with four of us and it could easily accommodate all of us with a ton of space. The neighbors can get a little loud here and there and block your driveway, but they mind their own business and the area doesn’t feel dangerous. Fruitvale is gentrifying but still maintains its old charm it’s sort of in that middle area. The streets can be a bit messy with trash and some people living in tents, but you’ll see that throughout the Bay Area if we are being honest.
We recommend staying here, BeBe is a wonderfully quick and responsive host. The place is mostly clean, just a few things like wishing some of the sheets were cleaner. You have everything you need to live here including towels a fully stocked kitchen, extra pull out couch. The heater is a wall unit where you have to light it because it automatically shuts off when it gets too hot, we had experience with it but for those of you not used to a gas pilot heater you may need to ask the host for a bit of help. Overall a great stay while being within an hour of pretty much everything you want to do in the bay!!!
