Irina,
I really enjoyed your apartment during my visit to Oakland. It is so easily accessible to highways downtown and a short walk to BART. It really is in a convenient location. Rush hour traffic seems busy but your new windows really are nice.
College Ave is close and has virtually everything needed for a short visit: the restaurants, bars and fitness clubs are welcoming. I liked the dry cleaners and laundry within walking distance. And the Trader Joe's on way back from the train is great.
Loved the kitchen making several meals weekly. That is the light of the apartment. You responded the couple times I had questions, and that is reassuring to us guests.
I'm sure I will check to stay with you again - but I'm sure you'll keep your space very busy.
Thanks again - and good luck.
Tim
