Our month-long stay at la Vista Hermosa was fabulous. Ginger (who lives downstairs) is friendly, accommodating and communicative, and was always available to help with our questions and concerns. The unit itself is cozy, clean and quiet, has a fantastic view of San Francisco and the bay, and opens onto a truly beautiful garden (perhaps the nicest in the neighborhood). La Vista Hermosa is situated in an ideal Oakland location, within easy walking distance of the diverse and dynamic Oakland neighborhood of Laurel (well stocked with excellent restaurants) and within easy driving distance of the beautiful Redwoods, Joaquin Miller and Dimond Regional Parks. Merritt Lake and downtown Oakland are not far, as is access to BART. We had a terrific stay!
