I was in the Bay Area (My hometown) for a couple weeks and had a really great stay!
Being in downtown Oakland I fully expected a lot of noise but surprisingly it was super quiet - even with the hotel construction next door. I only heard the construction noise 3 times during my stay and it only lasted less than 30 minutes.
Brittany's place is clean, fully stocked and very close to the 12th street Bart station and a new/really tasty vegan restaurant - Roasted & Raw.
I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany when she dropped by with an extra space heater and we had a great conversation that left me inspired. She's one of those beautiful, smart and kind people that you'd want to add to your friend group.
I highly recommend Brittany's place. Also, she's very prompt in her communications.
