We stayed a week while visiting family in the Oakland and Berkeley. Benjamin's place is well situated whether you are driving, flying into Oakland or SFO. Rockridge BART is a 10 minute walk. You can walk to Safeway, Trader Joes and numerous restaurants and shops. Lyft bicycle rentals are nearby if you want to go farther. The pictures are accurate. Mattress was firm and pull-out bed was comfy enough. The kitchen has everything you need. There's plenty of space (including a huge bathroom) plus the deck outside. The place is perfect for a visit to Cal (longish walk or bus) and convenient if you need to get into the City.
