Place is as described, the host is accommodating, I wear ear plugs so I can’t tell you if it’s a quiet or nosy area because I don’t hear anything. My car was broken into the 2nd night, I parked at the Bart station the rest of the time but that isn’t that safe. But the walk back at night is not safe just be careful. The location works if you are getting around Oakland. I probably won’t stay here again because I have a car. If I was ubering everywhere I would stay again. Oh the room is spacious.
