I needed a home base after relocating to the East Bay at the start of the month, and Susie's place was ideal on all counts. First, I was staying with my brother, so 2 bedrooms and 1 bath was ideal. We didn't use the kitchen at all, but it was stocked and ready to use. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, with pedestrian traffic throughout the day. On-street parking within 50 ft of the house was never an issue. It was only a 10 minute walk to the Rockridge Bart stop, and College Ave commerce was even closer. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to know what it's like to live in North Oakland.
