Erika's place is very convenient - close to freeway connectors to downtown Oakland, and a quick drive to the Park Boulevard shops and restaurants. The apartment is comfortable and full of charm, and I'd particularly like to give kudos to Erika for the extremely cozy sofa and bed, with soft pillows and throws. On an unusually rainy California weekend, this was much appreciated. The extra touches, like nice plates and glasses, books on the shelves, and a TV with acccess to guest accounts for Netflix and Amazon, all added to the quality of my stay. Erika was very responsive and instructions were clear. Can definitely recommend.
