Our stay was great! Hicham always promptly responded to every request or question I had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. He made sure to meet my requests (plate settings and an iron) very quickly and was even offering to help me surprise my boyfriend with dinner! Great hospitality!
Central location was great, we were 15 mins from downtown or jack london, 20 mins from alameda, and less than 10 mins from the airport and the zoo!
As for parking, this place is on a pretty busy main street, but plenty of parking on the block around the corner, just make sure to read street signs if you’re staying on weekends.
Nice private, keypad entrance on the side of the house in the back. Only thing that startled us was the neighbor’s large dog that barks when you walk by. (Startling and distracting especially when he would bark at sirens, but did not detract from our stay).
It was a cozy studio with a full sized fridge, stove, dishwasher, couch coffee table, and bed. Bathroom had a bathtub/shower, as well as a washer/dryer unit. With a few simple improvements (which he said he would work on - simple things, curtain additions and a brita filter, for example) you will definitely have everything you would ever need.
Overall, would recommend and would definitely stay here again!
