This place is very new and looks exactly as it is in photos. I was visiting my child in college and this was perfect for sleeping/showering. The bed was very comfortable as I have back issues and it was nice to rest well. I enjoyed the portable rolling clothing rack, it was actually better than a closet, and it had plenty of new hangers to hang jackets and coats. Also, it was unusually cold in Oakland during my visit and the heater in this unit was a PLUS. It is not a place for hanging out...but not sure anyone truly wants to hang out in a room even in a hotel when traveling. The neighborhood, Temescal, was wonderful. Julie's is a great place for coffee and breakfast/lunch...beautiful patio in back. Pizzaiolo was an incredible Italian gem with modern spin...I would make reservations there. Another great dining experience was Burma Superstar...although we waited in line, but WAY worth it, as they give you your place in line on the app...and we were able to wait in a bar nearby and have a drink while we waited. Temescal is close to Rockridge and Berkeley area, great for walking the neighborhoods. This location was very close to BART...so easy access to anywhere you need to go. The hosts were very prompt with communications and that is always nice when traveling via Airbnb.
