While the hosts were readily available and communicative throughout our stay, I would not recommend staying here. What’s portrayed in the photos is a far cry from the reality of the space. Everything is much older than appears in these images, and that leaves a layer of grime that cleaning has not seemed to remove. The television is very old, the bed leaves something to be desired on the comfort side, and the couch is just ok.
On the bright side, the apartment is close to a bunch of great restaurants in Oakland, and has a healthy smoothy/coffee shop right across the street. Overall, the place was just overpriced for the experience we had.
