The unit is updated as described. It is clean and the bed is comfortable. The bedding is ok.
The building is loud. You can hear the other tenants and other guests when they are in the hallways as the unit is at the top of the stairs which likely creates an echo chamber. The neighborhood is loud as well with people on the streets at all hours.
The location is little to be desired. I understand many parts of Oakland are such and without being familiar to it, it should be clear before one is to book. It is also further from the 19th St Bart Station than listed. It took us at least 20 minutes of brisk walking.
The host was very nice and responsive however we would not stay in this unit again.
