It was a nice stay for the most part. The space you choose does matter, especially if you're staying for more than a few days.
My last night made me wish there was a separate option for women, not for my sake, but if a less certain version of me were in a small detached cottage alone with 3 strange men, she might have had trouble sleeping for reasons other than having taken a late nap.
All in all, some very very cheap updates could be made or just fresh tape, but it also saved me a bunch of money. It's directly across the street from the BART station, but it's the West Oakland BART which is mostly a desert.
It was an interesting stay at an affordable price but I was glad to sneak out in the early morning.
