This is a really nice little spot. The actual upstairs space this apartment gets you is smaller than we may have expected based on photos, but was sufficient for our group. It's a good location if you want to be in Oakland, and is close to the bridge across to San Fran (although the traffic can get very bad at peak times). The apartment had the basic utensils for cooking in the kitchen, but nothing more. We enjoyed our stay but there was nothing special to make us think "wow, great!".
