As others have mentioned, Shari's place is quite small but is incredibly cozy and makes use of its space. It has everything you need (nice TV with multiple options for entertainment, heater, kitchen, etc.). I felt safe within the neighborhood even when walking at night. It is a short walk away from public transportation that will take you to the BART. It is great for a single traveler but will also be fantastic for 2 people. Highly recommend Shari's place for a trip to Oakland/Bay area.
