Alex's lovely apartment was the perfect place to stay for my quick trip to the East Bay. First, the neighborhood is stunning, with views of Downtown Oakland and San Francisco. The room, with a full kitchen and induction stove top was clean, warm, and comfortable. Alex's communication was prompt and personable. I appreciated the tour of the property and the personal touch that Alex took to meet with me. I would stay here again. It is one of the best places to stay when I come to town to visit my son while he is a student at CAL.
