Dave's space was extremely clean, well thought of, spacious and close to a lot of key Oakland locations. However, it is in a shady neighborhood. We had our car and weren't affected by the location but you could be if you have to take public transportation. We got lucky because Dave had the driveway space available for us to park which made us feel safe. The 4th of July fireworks in the neighborhood went on till 1am and went on the previous day as well. This was something specific about the weekend we stayed. I highly recommend this place for the value and cleanliness. Dave has put a lot of thought into making the stay comfortable.
