Sophie's place was great. The location couldn't have been better. It was very close to the highway. We could walk to restaurants and stores close by and the neighborhood was ok. We had to get use to not having an air conditioner but that's part of visiting Oakland. The evenings were nice and cool so the place cooled off. Fans were supplied for each bedroom. We would have preferred a dresser to put away clothes in the 2nd bedroom instead of having a chair since we stayed for a week. The master bedroom does have a small dresser. Communication was great with the owner. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
