Alex's place exceeded my expectations. The location was extremely accurate, right across from the Oakland Police Department. Check in was so smooth, lockbox. He provided ear plugs and soap for us to use. Place was clean. The only downside was the bed, it was a bit to firm for me to get a good nights sleep, but i am also super picky. The pillows were comfy too. The location was perfect, just a short walk to Jack London Square or an even shorter ride on the Lime Scooters. We were within distance of bars and local restaurants which is a huge plus. Not a sketchy neighborhood like i thought it was going to be, which was perfect ! We took the BART to Oakland and walked the distance to the apartment, which was not that far! Thank you for the tips on local food and drinks!
