This was a prefect place for our stay in the bay area. Close to everything we wanted to visit and in a nice and relaxed neighborhood. Also it felt safe! Although it´s close to Fruitvale Ave - this place is far away from the area people have in mind when they talk about Oakland being unsafe. Maybe closer to the BART-station that´s a different story, but not in the area of this house. We had everything we needed and would definitely consider coming back when we´re in the area again.
