Sharon was quick to respond to texts and a very accommodating host. The place itself was clean, comfortable, and the room had an amazing view of downtown Oakland including City Hall. The apartment had all the basic essentials. I had an easy commute to work every morning with only a five minute walk to the 12th Street BART station. There is a little bit of street noise in the evening, as it is in downtown Oakland, after all, so be prepared for that, but I slept very soundly despite of it. The Chinatown location is fun, and I also loved being a block away from beautiful Old Town Oakland. Amazing variety of restaurant options to choose from.
