I really enjoyed my stay at Alex's place, he was so thoughtful with items like towels, toiletries, and organized resources for things to do around the area. The neighborhood is safe and very convenient for downtown Oakland and Jack London Square. Alex was super responsive and helped out with everything I needed including providing a fan immediately when I asked about AC (no AC unit, but fan was perfect) and even contacting AirBnb when I decided last minute to extend my trip. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone reading this and considering a trip to Oakland. I hope his place is available again next time I visit!
