We - family of 5 - had a really amazing time in this bright and spacious apartment - it is clean, tastefully decorated, warm and has plenty of spare bedding and towels in the closet. The house is in a quiet Oakland neighborhood about half an hour drive from downtown San Francisco. There is a free parking right beside the house. Safeway grocery store is located in 5 minute-drive proximity from there. I recommend visiting Zocolo coffee house, about 5 minutes drive from the apartment - they serve delicious breakfast. Thank you Matisse for going above and beyond to make our stay a special one!
