Jennifer's place was all we needed for our stay in the Bay. It was simple and small, but clean, well decorated, stocked with snacks and tea, and has a nice and newly renovated bathroom. Check-in was a breeze. It was about a 15 minute walk to Ashby BART with a few nice bakeries/coffee shops along the way. The porch out back was a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning. As others have mentioned, the primary residence is just on the other side of a blocked off door, so you do hear people and cat's meowing from time to time, but it didn't bother us. Overall, it was a very nice little sanctuary for our time in Oakland.
