Sharon is an excellent host. I moved to Oakland for my new job and reserved this place as it is very close to my office. I expected to stay here for a week or two until I find a new apartment, but I ended up staying for ~2.5 months, of course, I was lazy at apartment hunting, but also this place is just comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, it is very well maintained and is in a great location too with a spectacular view of Oakland Downtown. Also, you have Oakland City Center, Jack London Square, Lake Merrit, Friday Farmer's Market, and a wide range of restaurants within a walkable distance. And finally, Sharon has been a great host right from the beginning with excellent communication, accommodating my requests, and keeping the place clean. I definitely recommend this place if you're planning to visit Oakland and looking for a comfortable place at a reasonable price. Thank you, Sharon!
