As an Oakland native, I can attest that the location of this apartment is The Best for accessing food, drinks, public transit, parks, Farmers Market, etc. There was no street noise, and the place was very peaceful.
The furnishings are not upscale, but were comfortable. And I appreciated the lack of detergent fragrance on the linens. The water gets very hot, which made for a great shower.
I would stay here again.
