Overall, staying here was an excellent experience for the 2 of us. The place is spotless, stylish, with modern appliances and conveniences and the bed is probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. You cannot fault the location either. It's only a few minutes walk to the lake and is an easy drive to the expressway for the Bay bridge. The secure, undercover parking was also a bonus as we were driving everywhere. Kirk is also very helpful and pleasant to deal with. I would definitely stay here again and can thoroughly recommend Kirk's place to anyone who wants to visit Oakland, or use it as a base to travel to San Fran, as we did. Thank you very much :-)
