Lots of great things about this cozy studio. It's a short walk (15 minutes or less) from many things: the MacArthur BART station, Safeway, Target, bus stops. It's a 30 minute or so walk from many more restaurants and grocery stores, and either a walk or bus ride to IKEA or the mall and Barnes & Noble. The street is quiet, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates..... & other things you need to cook with. Oakland is sunnier and warmer than SF most of the time, and SF is only 4 stops away. Also, lots of street art and such around Oakland. I enjoyed my stay in July/August.
