Sandy was very accommodating to our request to come in a day early. The Air BnB is off the main house and sits in a very cozy and inviting garden-deck space. Everything was very clean. we didn't spend much time at the place because it's so close to a ton of good bars, restaurants, and other sites. We walked to a lot of places and felt safe even later in the evening. If you want to jump on the BART it's an easy 15 minute walk. Basically, if you're in Oakland for a few nights and want to walk to all the cool spots its the best spot. Additionally, if you swim there's a pool with fairly regular hours half a block away (I intended to use but didn't get to), and a yoga studio within a 7-10 minute walk (which I did go to, Corepower Yoga - great place). Awesome stay, clean, cozy, walkable, and access to the freeway or BART within minutes.
