The hostess has thought of almost everything to make this a delightful place to stay! This airbnb is in a quiet, safe neighborhood where guests can see children walking to school with their parents in the morning. It is an easy walk from either the Lake Merritt BART station or the 19th Street Oakland BART station. I walked down the hill in the morning to the Lake Merritt Station, and, in the evening, arrived at the 19th Street Station to enjoy a walk around Lake Merritt to the Whole Foods before heading the rest of the way home. Truly, a delightful place to stay in many regards.
