I wish I could give 5 stars bc Alice was very nice and welcoming, but anyone looking to stay, PLEASE READ.
Pros: Close to Downtown Oakland. Spacious room. Parking in driveway or close to residence.
CONS: Dirty box spring. Squeaky & old mattress. Strong smell coming from kitchen and smoke smell coming from 1st room in front of entrance. Dirty bathtub with orange stains. Shared bathroom with multiple people. Unable to flush toilet paper so soiled tp is thrown in small trash bin and makes bathroom smell. LOUD people upstairs banging on walls.
I paid for 3 nights and only stayed 1. Asked for a partial refund because it was not what I expected. Refund was denied because no one else could book the days I had booked. AVOID this place. I don’t know how it has ANY good reviews, but then again, they aren’t detailed. I hope Alice takes my $188 to make improvements. Consider it a DONATION. Use it wisely. You’re welcome
Best advice is to book with Superhosts. I’ve never had an issue with them
