The listing description was accurate. It is a good location if you do not want to rent a car while you are there. You can walk to a lot of Oakland, the lake, and it is a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Oakland and BART.

They were extremely friendly, and wanted a high level of interaction. They were also very accommodating, at the last minute I had to fly into Oakland a day early because of a snow storm in NYC, and they were happy to lodge me a day early. It was easy to come and go as I pleased.
