Alisa's place is perfect for solo travellers. For women travelling alone: I felt so safe being there on my own for a week. Nice neighbourhood and lovely neighbours.
The space is clean and beautiful with so many great little touches. Exactly as the photos portray. So much light and lots of air makes the space feel much bigger than it is. The kitchen and bathroom had everything I needed and were spotless. I parked my car on the street for a week with no issues.
Merritt Park is the perfect neighbourhood to stay in while in Oakland. Alisa's place is right near the lake and lots of neighbourhood staples. I was able to do my laundry and get a coffee while I waited just a 2 min walk away.
Peet's Coffee and Trader Joe's are a 10 min away on Lakeshore Ave. There is so much to do in the neighbourhood. I would definitely stay here on my next trip and recommend it to anyone heading to Oakland.
