We had a great week in Oakland! We used to live in The Mission in SF so we are accustomed to urban areas.
Just a couple things to note: This is a neighborhood being gentrified and it's industrial. We have two tweens and just needed to make them aware of surroundings.
This apt is on first floor of the house and the ceilings are low. My husband hit his head a couple of times (he is 6'4"). If you're tall, be aware of this.
It felt dark in the apt because there are bars on all the windows. It is not bright like the photos.
