We loved our stay in Oakland - the neighborhood is very convenient and there is definitely a lot to do. I'm not sure how close it is to a BART station because we had a car and also rented bikes, so make sure to check that if you are only using public transportation.

The apartment, while small, is very clean and in a nice area. It had everything we needed, including a kitchen and a nice bathroom with good water pressure. Eric was very communicative and responded to my questions right away. A great stay!
