Location is close to SF without the heavy price tag. We found the food in Oakland to be excellent. I was worried about safety but we didn't have any issues. We didn't walk around at night. I made sure to bring in everything from my car to avoid my car being broken into as this is common not only in Oakland but throughout SF. The space was huge, more than enough room for 2 people. The bed could have been more comfortable. There is a futon in the living room that could accommodate two more people. Easy access to bay bridge if you have a car and want to go to SF and about a 20 minute walk to BART station. Full kitchen has everything you would need.
