I was looking for a centrally-located place in Oakland where I could crash for a night, and Alex's place was perfect. It's spacious, modern, very clean, quiet, and really, for the value, you can't beat it. Alex was cooperative and always easy to get in touch with, which made the experience as smooth as it could be. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The neighborhood is fine. The actual street has some unoccupied storefronts on it, so, you know - you're not going to be Instagramming it, if that's what you're looking for. But, echoing what others have said, it's across the street from a police building, and I never felt unsafe, so it's nothing to worry about.

All in all, I'd highly recommend this listing!
