The Good the Not so Bad and the Ugly
The Good....
Easy walking distance to the West Oakland Bart Station (.5 miles)
Excellent communication with host. I contacted Jason about an issue with the guest next door and he responded and fixed the issue (barking dog) right away,,,,I really appreciated how quick he was to respond to all of my communication.
We felt very safe. The property is located within a gated area where you have to use a code to get in and out of the gate and the key for our unit was located inside of a lock box. As a single woman I would not walk alone at night.
Easy check in process and check out process.
The unit has a microwave which is not shown in the photos.
EXCELLENT Wifi (there is no TV but you can watch Netflix from your own devise.
The Not so Bad.....
No ice maker which is fine but It would be nice to have a least two ice trays to make a cold drink.
No coffee or tea, it would be nice to have some instant coffee or a coffee maker in the unit.
No air conditioning or fan. You really don't need air conditioning here and I knew that it didn't have air conditioning but the room does get a little stuffy. You can't open the small window above the couch because it doesn't have a real blind, it has a paper blind that's taped to the wall which doesn't allow you to put it up so opening the window won't help. It would be nice to have a small fan that would circulate the air in the room : )
The place is superficially clean but it's time for a detailed clean (windowsil, baseboards, fridge, etc)
The Ugly.....
There was no Ugly....Jason was responsive, it's close to the West Oakland Bart Station and the photo's show an accurate picture of the unit. We enjoyed our stay and so will you!
