Michael’s place was very comfortable and convenient place for me to stay while attending a conference at the Oakland Convention center—the bus stop was less than 2 blocks away. Make sure to bring $2.50 on the bus though!
While not many food options in walking distance, there was one absolutely deliciousness Thai/Laotian restaurant and a convenience store both less than a block away.
The house clean and provided free coffee.
The neighborhood isn’t loud, but it is a city so typically city level of noise from nearby neighbors and cars.
Nice, convenient spot - I would recommend especially to those with destinations in downtown Oakland who don’t want to pay downtown Oakland hotel prices.
