People warned me about Oakland being unsafe, but this was the most charming little street. BLM signs in every window, countless people jogging and walking dogs, a community garden, lots of neighborhood domesticated cats around, but very peaceful and quiet. I felt so so serene the whole time I was there for a big important job interview. Every amenity you could want, prompt communication, very clean spot, enough blankets, a space heater and a fan, closet storage, fridge with separate freezer... And host was extremely kind.
