This is a very comfortable place to stay with a gorgeous kitchen, and big screen TV in the living room and very comfortable beds. We were surprised there was just a bar area, no dining table nor a microwave for our family of 4. Only environmental downside was the considerable noise from the nearby Bart and street traffic. The apt. is a 5 minute walk to the very popular Temescal area of Oakland. Whole Foods Groceries and Peets Coffee shop are easy walking distance as are many cute restaurants and boutiques. Our host was extremely responsive to our needs and we had a great stay.
