It was a comfortable and convenient long term stay (stayed for 5 weeks). Joe is a thoughtful host and made it really easy to navigate the Airbnb from checking in to grabbing extra towels/sheets/blankets/toiletries/plastic bags as needed. Joe was responsive and reliable over Airbnb messages and always very helpful!
The Airbnb has a few rooms so it was nice to have that space. The space overall is cozy and very private. The bedroom mattress was very comfortable and I always had a good night’s rest. The TV room is where I spent most of my day time and where I worked remotely on days I didn’t go into the office. The kitchen is a makeshift kitchen with a working stove/oven and all appliances you’d need with a well functioning sink. A bunch of kitchen tools are provided so we were able to cook a lot of
meals. Heads up that the smoke alarms are extra sensitive and one needs to be careful when cooking and just make sure to open all windows/move smoke alarms farther away just to not get them to go off. Another thing to be aware of is that there is not much natural light in this space so we had to be intentional about going outside during the day otherwise it would feel a bit stuffy/easy to lose track of time.
Location is convenient as it is a few minutes walk from Macarthur BART and all the restaurants on Telegraph. We had fun exploring the different food options in the neighborhood. It was easy to get around w BART and bus options.
Overall a great and comfortable stay. Would recommend for anyone looking to stay in Oakland for a few weeks. Thanks, Joe!
