Alex's place was perfect for my wife and I. It was located right in the middle of everything we like to do in Oakland: near transit; restaurants and bars were within a short walking distance ; and it was easy to park on the street in front of the apartment. Alex was quick to respond to our questions and communication with him was very easy. The bed was very comfortable and the coffee left in our room was a welcome bonus in the morning. We will definitely stay with Alex again the next time we are in Oakland.
