We've had a great time at Allison's place, they were very welcoming and they have a beautiful home. The neighborhood is a little rough in some directions but we didn't have any problems using public transportation. There's a bus stop nearby that takes you to the nearest BART station. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice as well. Overall, the place offered everything as mentioned in the listing so we would recommend it to people that look for a place to stay in Oakland
