I found Angie's place last minute when a previous booking fell through. She was fast to accept and communicate about the booking. There's parking, which felt safer then leaving the cars on the street but the general location isn't amazing. It's close to downtown Oakland so it's a great spot if you're looking for something on budget and don't plan on hanging around too much. I would say the garden is a little overrun to be called a garden oasis - it could have just been the timing and being past garden season in early September. But overall the place was very spacious and generally clean with a full kitchen and dishwasher if needed. There was enough bedding and pillows for a comfortable stay.
