Absolutely love Alex’s place. It is clean with newly renovated bathroom, quite spacious and right in the Oakland city centre. It is 5-6 mins walking to BART station which will take you to SF city centre in about 15-20 mins (only 4 stops). The neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Plenty of nice coffee shops, supermarkets and restaurants nearby.
Alex is a great host. He went the extra mile to ensure our stay is a pleasant one. He provided all the essentials we needed to explore Oakland and San Francisco.
He is a star.
