Claudia's place was so cute! We really loved staying there the week. She's a very nice lady and made us very comfortable about contacting her if we needed anything. On this visit, she welcomed us with some munchy items like fruit, yummy cinnamon bread, organic orange juice, cream for our coffee & a nice bottle of wine. I thought that was sweet. The apt is fully equipped with kitchen, fridge, coffee maker (!!) iron and ironing board, TV... hair-dryer, all the things you need. Internet & cell service were great. The area is a VERY nice part of Oakland (quite hilly though for parking and walking if someone isn't quite so steady on their feet). The whole place was adorable, clean, nicely renovated and very cozy. We would love to stay with her again if we're ever back in the area.
