For our entire stay Pete has been fantastic and welcoming.
2500 Magnolia has been a really interesting space to live in, and it is totally private if you want it that way. Is is the perfect place if you are working in the city but either don't want to pay city prices, or just need to scape the chaos. It has everything you need, and has one of the most comfortable mattresses I have ever slept on!
While I had reservations about being in west Oakland, Pete has made sure security is paramount. The house is in a quiet warehouse district, and the apartment has complete security installed. The location is ideal, as it is one minute from the nearest bus stop, where the 26 will take you straight to the BART in 10 minutes, so you can get anywhere you need to go. Even better, there is a convenience store and a really good Korean restaurant (Fuse Box) down the road, and a great breakfast place (brown sugar) a couple of blocks away. Additional beneficial services offered included a laundry service, and fast internet.
