I saw the negative reviews but decided to check it out anyway and I was pleased with the setup. The 76 station nearby had good coffee and lots of creamer/flavor options. There were also food trucks and pop-up merchants selling authentic street food in the area. The place is convenient to Oakland Airport, a great 24 Hour Fitness gym and lots of retail shops. To me, the biggest negative was parking. I got in late both nights and there was no available parking at the house or anywhere on the cul de sac. I had to park on the main drag, where theft and damage were concerns. Luckily there was no problem. The area is in "the hood" but it is a reasonably safe place. If you are not familiar with the hood, you may feel uncomfortable or unsafe. There were street people but I didn't see anyone that would be a threat to anyone else.
The bed sheets were stained but clean. Jeffrey is doing a lot of work around the place and I'm sure everything will be improved as he fixes the place up. There was a mini fridge and microwave, which I always appreciate. Jeffrey was nice, accommodating and he messaged me to make sure I checked in ok. If you have some tolerance for staying in a seedy area, this place is a good bargain.
