Very well-done place that is reflected exactly in the pictures posted online. Carlos was a wonderful host - communicated promptly although he was out of town during the holiday weekend we used his place. He left us a lot of food which was a blessing after some long days outdoors. Very close to freeways, downtown Oakland and shopping. The neighborhood was fairly safe - certainly better than I expected. My dog had to go out at 3 am one night and my daughter and I were able to step out without any problems for about half an hour.
