Crystal’s place was very nice and clean, and accommodated our group of 7 fine. Crystal was super lovely and helped us a lot, both with tips around the apartment and letting us stay longer on the checkout day. The area of Oakland is fine with lots of nice restaurants in a 20-30min walking distance, as well as 10 min to the BART. Be mindful when walking underneath the motorway bridges, can be a bit scary. We definitely felt safe at Crystal’s place though, and would 100% say it was fantastic, especially for the price!
