We would strongly recommend not selecting this property for your stay in Oakland. Not only were the furnishings cheap, there were major issues with the property itself - to include large cracks in the wall, blistering and discolored plastered walls, mildew in the bathroom, a slow-draining shower (anticipate pooling of water as you shower), and a very small television, aprox 1' x 2' - with no remote. Toilet paper was extremely thin; towels and linens were also of poor quality. In addition to this, the neighborhood was unsafe. We were constantly exposed to the smell of marijuana and witnessed a violent physical fight among five individuals in the front yard of a house across from this property. The fight occurred around 630 a.m. on our first morning in the apartment. It began with aggressive shouting and screaming and quickly morphed into punching, kicking and shoving among five people. We saw one individual pick up a skateboard and hit others with it. Four police cars and an ambulance arrived on scene. Unfortunately, the security gate that was to serve as a barrier from the neighborhood did not lock, increasing our concern for safety. We could not wait to vacate the property.
