I was in town for a month while visiting some friends in the area and working remotely. This location was perfect for anyone who likes to walk to shops, coffee, restaurants, grocery stores (Safeway, Trader Joe's), bars, and Lake Merritt. The apartment was larger than I anticipated. I've stayed in several studios, and the kitchen and bathroom in this one were by far the best. The kitchen had lots of pots, pans, and utensils. Welela was very communicative, and the stay was very smooth. Oakland is a blast and this central spot is great for anyone wanting to explore.
