This was a very clean and convenient place to stay for a few weeks while preparing to move out of the area.
The neighborhood is safe and quiet with plenty of available street parking although after 7pm you may have to go a little further down the street.
The place gets hot in the summer without an AC unit, which is the case with 90% of homes in the Oakland area--it's just not common to have AC unless it's a very new apartment. For security, I shut and locked the windows in the place everyday when I left to secure my things, which probably did not help as there's little ventilation without these things. There was one high power fan available, but I ended up bringing another as well.
The host lives in the main house at the front of the property. There was limited storage space due to the owner's belongings occupying 2/3 of the closet, shelf and the dresser next to the bathroom. It was fine for me since I don't have many things.
The wifi was very good and allowed me to stream, use zoom and do all of my regular work.
The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils however there is limited counter space and it is difficult to clean dishes with the low water pressure (by design with an attachment on the faucet probably for water conservation) and also no place to put drying dishes. Fridge, stove, microwave etc were very clean.
The smart TV was slow and it doesn't appear to be due to the wifi. Maybe just outdated software. I didn't end up using it and just streamed from my laptop without any latency.
As stated, the place was cleaned very well. You can tell they don't just clean to make it appear clean, but to actually clean. The bedding was fully washed, which at hotels is not always the case and there were no gross hairs or grime left in the bathroom which I have experienced at other AirBnbs.
Finally the price was great for the area.
This was overall a very good stay and I would not hesitate to stay again.
