I never been to Oakland before and was hesitant to stay here because of the things I heard about Oakland. I can honestly say this area was so fun and there was a lot to do. There are good restaurants around the house I didn't need to walk far at all! I loved how everything is so close. I forgot a few feminine products and there's a CVS close by. I absolutely love this area I'm glad i stayed here! Na and Steve are really nice people I checked in a little earlier (oops) but I explained it's my first time doing this and they were nice about it and I really appreciated it. I love speaking to Na she's so down to earth and really sweet. Everything was great but if you're looking to stay in all day you would hear some noise from their adorable son upstairs, it's quiet at night so there's no noise around this time. Other than that this is a great area and place to stay I would definitely recommend this place :)
