Linda's Airbnb is one of those rare cases when the actual experience is better than advertised. The apartment is just beautiful and furnished so well. We spent two weeks living here and could have stayed longer. It was as comfortable as being at home. The location couldn't be better either. Only a block and a half from Lake Merritt which provides a beautiful 3-mile walk and close to restaurants, coffee shops and a salon! Whole Foods is walkable as is CVS and Walgreens and there is a brilliant Farmer's Market nearby too on Saturdays. In general, a extraordinary place to stay in Oakland.
