This place in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood is ideally located: walkable to many great restaurants and shops and to BART. While the apartment is on a main thoroughfare, we had no problems with noise, because the bedrooms are on the quiet sides of the house and on second floor. I liked that all the windows were easy to operate. Also, it was quite easy to park. It's a big space with plenty of room for cooking and dining in. We felt like real residents staying at Chris and JoAnn's place. They were also super responsive to our requests.
