A Gem within the hill is the perfect description of this Air BNB. This was my first time using Air BNB and let me say I am BEYOND PLEASED. If you are staying in Oakland this is where you must stay. If you stay anywhere else you will not be getting your money worth to say the least. Everything needed to make our 4day stay was provided; towels, toaster oven, microwave, pots &pans, plates, etc,. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The bathroom blew our minds! I have heard of a heated toilet seat BUT to be able to heat a bathroom floor! AMAZING! Everything about this Air BNB was clearly thought about from a consumer stand point. The house is located in the hills of Oakland. So if you walk just a little further up the hill you will get a jaw dropping amazing view of the City of Oakland, parts of San Francisco and an AMAZING sunset. One of the nights we stayed, there was a game at the Coliseum. Afterwards there were fireworks, which we could view from the hill. That was nice. During my stay we did use Uber and the BART alot. To catch an Uber to the Bart at the Coliseum we paid an average of $6. To catch the Bart from the Coliseum to the Embarcadero BART in San Francisco we paid $5.50 per person. However it is $9.50 for a round trip. So for my husband and I, it was no more than $20 to ride the BART to and from San Francisco. And it does get a lil costly if you are staying for a few days. So keep that in consideration when determining if you will be constantly visiting San Francisco from this Air BNB. But over all Elaine was extremly helpful and made herself available when needed and answered my questions via the Air BNB messanger swiftly. All I have left to say is GET YOUR MONEY WORTH AND STAY HERE!
