Super sweet host. Easy check in with clear instructions on entry and location. Location super convenient - close to two BART stops; just under 10 minutes (walking) from Downtown Oakland; across from a little fresh market; about 3 minute walk to Lake Merritt, which is great to walk around. Second floor walkup to the apartment.
The apartment was sunny and cute, perfect for a single person, I might have felt crowded if my husband had been with me, but could make it work. Easy access to the bathroom and kitchen. The only bad thing I could say is that the nice old wooden floors were creaky which made me worried that I would wake my host when I came home late from the wedding. Eclectic decor and mural painted in the bedroom.
Great hot water and I even took a bath in the big tub on my last day. Plenty of towels available. Top shelf of fridge was clear for me to use which was thoughtful. Also the bedroom has a big water carafe and a hot water maker for tea, with tea bags which was really nice.
All in all a great place to stay during my 4 day visit to the bay - I was able easily to travel into SF proper, Berkeley, the rest of Oakland, and Union City (suburbs).
