This airbnb is beautiful. It's perfectly decorated and not far from downtown Oakland. Lake Merritt is extremely close and if you're a runner I would definitely recommend. I would note that this listing does not have parking on the premises and instead has street parking. I would not recommend it if you are on work travel since there is no wifi and the check in process requires meeting with the host. If that's not a problem to you then you will be 100% satisfied with your stay. The airbnb is above the corner liquor store so its also easy to find. The host is warm and kind. I would recommend with the caveats noted above.
