Room was exactly as advertised and actually was bigger than expected. Mike the house manager was extremely helpful and communicative, addressing all of my concerns attentively every time. Sanelle was also friendly and quick to accommodate any needs that popped up quickly and efficiently. Location is actually quite safe despite initial appearance. Quiet neighborhood with grocery and gas nearby, parked my car on the street every night for 3 months with no incident. Would recommend for extended stay in the oakland/ emeryville area :) Make sure you visit the empanada store across the street, run by the sweetest woman and makes the best savory pies!
