I had such a great experience! I booked my stay for a work trip. My office is in East Oakland and I was a bit nervous to book a location so close because I know the area and I've had some not so great experiences. I'm so glad I gave it a shot! The main streets are intimidating, but Dave's place is on a quiet side street and I felt safe leaving my rental car there over night, parking and coming in late, etcetera.
Dave was accommodating when I asked if I could check in early just to quickly check things out, make sure I could get into the unit, and figure out parking since I knew I wouldn't be back until late that night.
The unit itself is immaculate. There are a lot of nice touches which I really appreciated. I only wish I'd had more time to just enjoy it. Thanks Dave!
