First time in Oakland and couldn’t have been more impressed with the city! We spent most the weekend around Lake Merritt/downtown Oakland. Ridiculously beautiful and easy to get around. Lyft on average was 10 min to get anywhere and under $15. Food and drink options galore, and so many things to enjoy around the lake. People watching, parks, gardens, walking trails. You can spend a whole weekend in the area and find something new to do each day. Kris was absolutely amazing and super helpful. From helping find a restaurant our first night to helping us when we had some car troubles! If this spots available and you’re going to Oakland, GET IT!
