Ruby's place was lovely. It is very clean and cozy - lots of spaces and places to relax and work, which is what I needed. It is a very quiet and peaceful home. The back deck was my favorite place to hang out, but the entire apartment is sun-filled. Check in was easy and there's a made-onsite donut shop across the street that made it easy to grab a good cup of coffee as a start to the day. I recommend this place if you don't need to be in downtown Oakland (though it is close enough by Uber/Lyft) and you want to save some money.
