Daniel was a great host and I really enjoyed my stay there. Located in a very charming part of Oakland called Rockridge. It's walking distance to lots of great restaurants and shopping. The neighborhood is very nice and feels safe. All the neighbors were friendly too. The flat has a very nice comfortable layout with a view out to a really nice back yard garden. I enjoyed having coffee out there in the mornings to start my day.I rode my bike everywhere and never drove.I would recommend it to anyone. The flat is located below the main house so you do hear noise from above but it was very quit at night. You do enter into the flat through the garage which has a car and the typical things that people keep in their garages.I found it a bit tight to get my bike in and out every day. Walking in and out is no problem.
