The apartment is conveniently located close to Bart, Whole Foods, and Lake Merritt. The furniture is comfortable, though spare. Think Ikea-Airbnb chique. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to cook. The bathroom is large and clean, although the shower has little water pressure. Internet is good. The apartment is at half-basement level, and the windows face only one direction and are frosted, so the unit gets little natural light and will need the lights on during almost all hours of the day. If you want a base to explore Oakland, I would recommend this place, but I would not recommend this place for a longer stay or to work from.
