This studio was just what I needed while I was staying and working in Oakland. The property was just as E.J. described and the room was nice and clean. It is in a convenient location to get around with easy street parking, walking distance of several places to eat and close groceries. Never a problem with noise and felt it was a very safe area to be staying in. The only drawback which was mentioned in the ad is lack of a kitchen but this is compensated for by having some simple kitchen appliances and easy access to several restaurants. Studio is attached to main house but noise was not an issue. Host provided for any needs that arose during stay. Would recommend!
