I stayed at Tobey's place for two months for an extended work trip and had a great experience. I really liked the location near the lake, great coffee shop in walking distance, weekend farmer's market, and easy access to Trader Joe's and bars and restaurants on Lakeshore and Grand! the apartment is cozy and features many personal items, but is well maintained. The on site parking is very convenient but just be aware that the garage is small so if you plan to get a rental just make sure to get a compact or small to mid-size car. I did have an inconsistent experience with a few of the appliances (dishwasher and drier), but this did not negatively impact my experience in a significant way, but just something to keep in mind. I ended up mostly washing dishes by hand (not a big deal for me personally) and had to sometimes run the drier a couple times to fully dry a load of laundry.
Overall though, it's a great location and was reasonably priced - I will absolutely consider Tobey's place for a return booking if my work brings me back to the East Bay area!
