Na and Steve are very gracious hosts. We especially appreciated their offer to make lattes for us in the mornings! Their house is in a great location, just steps from Lakeshore Blvd., where we could walk to restaurants, shops, Trader Joes, Lake Merritt and the Transbay bus stop.
The apartment has many nice extras, such as a small refrigerator with complimentary beverages, coffeemaker, toaster oven and microwave -- so it's easy to make breakfast in the morning. The bed is very comfortable, and quite cosy behind a pretty lace curtain.
The only downside for us was that it was a bit noisy at night due to the house's heat pump (located in the next room) cycling on and off. Light sleepers might find it a problem.
With that caveat, we recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay in Oakland.
