Judy's apartment met our needs entirely and we loved having the kitchen available for morning coffee and simple meals. The sound from the unit above was average. The garden was a plus on nice days. The apartment is wonderfully close to Piedmont Avenue and all of its offerings (cafes, restaurants, shops, movie theater, etc) and one can, when adventurous, walk to Lake Merritt. Parking was always easy, day and night. Judy left fresh flowers for us when we arrived, which was a nice touch. We encountered Judy in the garden a few times and she shared her knowledge about Oakland neighborhoods. Wifi and heat worked well and there is a washer and a dryer available.
