This is an awesome place to stay if you are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a native to this area and this part of Oakland has NOT changed. It is still peaceful and quiet. The apartment is AWESOME. Its just like home and has everything you need except food. 😊 But there is a grocery store not too far. The beds are comfy. This was my first Air BNB and I believe the standard for me has now been set very high. ENJOY!
