Michaels place is spotless and as pictured! Make sure you bring toiletries with you as there are no back ups around (some air bnb offer this - not as a dig to Michael but for your own awareness to be prepared) - also for folks with any mobility concerns, his neighborhood is quite hilly. It is quiet, and safe. Beds are firm & pillows are plush. Michael was great with communication - prompt replies. I would stay here again if I visited Oakland in the future! Thanks Michael!
