Two of us spent a week in California with Cindy's apartment as our home base. Cindy's description is accurate--the apartment is spacious, with gorgeous views, and a well equipped kitchen. Cindy provided us with access, even though she was out of town, and with helpful information about the area.
We found our way easily from SFO and it would also be easy from the Oakland Airport. We enjoyed the neighborhood and were mostly car-free, with the exception of a car share and an excursion with local relatives. It was an easy walk to the BART, markets, bakery, restaurants, and other services and attractions.
I was visiting from the drab northeast at the end of March, so I was mesmerized by the range of vegetation in bloom everywhere after a few weeks of rain.
This is a great location and Cindy makes communication easy. I recommend this apartment for anyone who wants a comfortable spot to stay in the Oakland/Berkeley area.
