Great base for exploring Oakland and San Fran. If you are looking for a place to sleep, maybe make a morning coffee and a quick meal or two, this place is excellent. Easy to access public transport is nearby which will get you just about anywhere you want to go.
If you can't live without TV, go somewhere else, they currently don't have one. But there are plenty of books to read and the place is quiet and has a comfortable couch and a couple chairs to recharge in.
