I really enjoyed staying at this airbnb. Nearby bus stops take you to downtown Oakland very easily.
I got a great price to have the kitchenette and private bathroom. The bed was comfy and linens were cozy (it was quite cold when I visited.) I liked the artwork and atmosphere.
The host and team are proactive and responsive.
It is an older home, so you can hear the footsteps etc of people upstairs. This isn't unusual in the Bay Area at all. So, just bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Most people are average or heavy sleeps so it wouldn't be a problem.
I was fine with the neighborhood and I think others should be too, but if you only want to be somewhere, well, *gentrified*, this isn't for you and it would be unfair to hold that against the listing.
I would come back!
