My boyfriend and I had a nice stay at Tobey's place for 2 weeks while in between apartments. I absolutely loved the little library/office room with the day bed! So cute and cozy. Great place to curl up with a good book. Also, the location is an easy walk to the lovely Lake Merritt as well as to restaurants in the Grand Lake area (loved getting take out from Rico Rico Taco!) We did use the garage to park our car, but I will say it was very tight with our Honda Accord Hybrid. To get in the drive way even, we had to tuck both side mirrors in each time and I would have to get out of the car before he pulled into the garage because it was too tight for us both to be able to get out of the car. Therefore, on days when we would be needing to use the car more than once, we would just park on the street since it was such an ordeal to get in the garage. However, we could almost always find street parking within a 5-10 min walk, and it seemed like a safe area to park as well, so it worked out fine.
