The apartment was wonderful! Very clean, organized and genuinely nice. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during the several days I was in Oakland.

Lake Meritt is a cool area, beautiful place for walking/biking. It's also within walking distance of a lot of interesting points - I encountered the Oakland Museum of California, Walden Pond bookstore, and Oakland's Chinatown during my stay.

Getting situated might have been confusing, but the host provided very detailed instructions, along with a list of local things to do. Kudos for going the extra mile!
