This apartment is above and beyond! Scattered everywhere is something beautiful to look at in this cheerful and roomy space. The check-in was easy and the building felt safe for single women. It is a wonderful location, not far from Lake Merritt -- with all the fun stuff going on there -- and some amazing Ethiopian food :). The host and his crew were kind and accommodating when I inadvertently put in the wrong dates. When looking for a great stay in Oakland, Francisco's is the place!
