Donald's apartment is awesome for a couple or single travel, but only three people at the most as it is only one bathroom and bedroom. The apartment itself is close to the BART but may be worth an Uber if you don't want to walk several blocks with large suitcases.
The backyard is its own private rainforest, which offers plenty of privacy and a hot tub!
If you have a problem, you can expect a VERY quick response from Donald as he and a neighbor of his helped turn the power back on after a power outage. He's a very good host and tries to provide as many amenities as he can to his guests, and I reccomend him for any couple or single traveler staying in West Oakland.
