Our stay at Ann's place was very nice. We enjoyed the close proximity to Lake Merritt and downtown Oakland, the wonderful view from the condo, and many of the building amenities. Ann was quick to respond to our questions and a very gracious host. The only slightly negative thing was we were surprised to find out with the check-in instructions that we weren't to tell anyone in the building that we were there as short-term rental guests. I'm not sure the reason for that but it felt odd to have to be so discreet.
