This is an awesome spot in a great location. We have family and friends in Oakland and this was a "sweet spot" to easily get around to different parts of Oakland. And in the evenings we were close to good food and drink. We are from the country and don't have city smarts - this place was easy for us and the hosts' welcome/instructions were clear, concise and friendly. This was especially appreciated when we arrived late after a long drive. I will definitely try to book this place again when visiting Oakland.
