We had a lovely stay at Patrick's house. It was perfect for our family gathering in the Oakland area. It is very clean and well taken care and it's nice that each bedroom has a private bathroom. It's in a great overall location - close to Rockridge and Berkeley and the Temascal area as well as downtown Oakland. It's worth noting that if you are a light sleeper and sensitive to noises, the highway is located very close to the flat and you do hear it from the master bedroom (but you don't hear the highway from the other two bedrooms).
