This is a great apartment in an excellent Oakland location, and Bee is a particularly thoughtful and helpful host. As advertised, the apartment is just a 2-3 minute walk from Lake Merritt, a popular destination for walking, running, cycling, barbecues, and picnicking. It's also very close to the Grand Lake district and its shops, restaurants, and iconic movie theatre. The Oakland Museum of California is an easy 20-minute walk at the SW end of the lake, and it, too, is a must-see. Bee's apartment is comfortable and has a lot of personality. It's also particularly well appointed with everything from towels (home & beach), dinnerware, pots & pans, and utensils, to a well-stocked pantry. The kitchen has great equipment and the dining room is reasonably spacious--perfect if you're the kind of person who likes to take advantage of Oakland's farmers' markets and specialty food stores. Oakland has tons to offer (Old Oakland, Downtown, Jack London Square, Temescal, Piedmont, Rockridge, etc.), but it was also easy to explore the region from this location (Berkeley, SF, Marin County, etc.), and if you're a hiker, the hills of Oakland and Berkeley offer plenty of great options. Very highly recommended, and great value, too!
