It's pretty simple. Not only is Kay and Gerald's place EXACTLY as described and pictured, it's somehow even better. The space is unique. The materials are unusual and modern, but very warm. It is clean and tidy-not too much personal stuff, but enough to make it feel like home. It was very well stocked. We could have eaten for two days on the food they left for us. The location is fantastic. It's a bit far from BART, but everything else is close-restaurants, laundry grocery stores, etc. The space is particularly wonderful at night. We opened the windows and the apartment cooled off quickly. By morning it was refreshingly chilly, for those of us coming from the hot humid East coast anyway. (If you don't like it cool, you can leave the windows closed, or use the efficient and quiet mini-split heat pump.) The bed was superb. My wife and I sleep on a king at home, but I have to say, we slept better on their queen than we usually do at home. That's an absolute first for me. I almost never sleep well while traveling. We will be returning to Oakland, and I'll be sure to plan it when Kay's place is available. One of the very best Airbnb/VRBO we've ever stayed at.
