(I rented the apartment for my mother during her recent visit to Oakland. She wrote the review, but I agree. Kymi was a very gracious host!)
Kymi's place is centrally located with shopping and all conveniences for anyone staying in the area for family or business and great for anyone who needs to travel to SF (a 4 block walk to BART). Although the apartment is in a converted garage it had all of the major travel amenities. The bed (a queen size, apparently bought last month) was extremely comfortable, and the noise from the heating unit did not bother me. I got good night sleeps.
For me the downside was the clawfoot tub. (I do not take baths; I take showers.) It is a little narrow to navigate for a shower and it has no grab bar if a guest slips.
I would not hesitate to stay at Kymi's again. She is a delightful person, very sweet, very helpful.
