A delightful place to stay while visiting family in Oakland. Laura and Patti are so kind and accommodating. The apartment is beautiful and Laura and Patti supply very nice treats, making us feel so welcome. The location is great - easy access to freeways, shopping, Lake Merritt. We had our dog with us and she had a great time playing with the host doggie. This is an especially nice place when you're traveling with a dog, and just as nice if you're traveling without one. Highly recommend it.
