Mike and his dad were great, they let us check in a bit earlier than we expected, and even told us where to go for a view of the city and the local market. This place is a gem in Oakland! For starters, beautiful neighborhood, very safe and gorgeous views of the city. It has its own private entrance, parking wasn't an issue at all, it was perfect for my boyfriend and I who stayed for the weekend. We absolutely loved it, and would def stay there again next time we visit Oakland.
