We had a great, 5-night stay at David's apartment. The place is spacious, comfortable and airy, with lots of windows...and the bed was quite comfortable! We had a rental car, so appreciated the assigned parking behind the unit, and it was nice to have Whole Foods an easy walk away.
There's currently some new construction going on across the street (which David had mentioned prior to our booking), but it did not bother us in the least. It didn't seem to affect traffic, and there really wasn't much noise to speak of.
David was a very responsive host throughout the rental process and I recommend him without hesitation. We would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Oakland.
