Wonderful stay at Catherine's place in Oakland. Very convenient to public transportation (5-10min walk to subway), super clean and chic looking placing, easy self-checkin. As other reviews mentioned, you can hear noise above you, even just them walking around. Its generally quiet at night, but there were a few early mornings that I noticed it - it was no problem for me as I was there on business so was up anyway, but may not be ideal for late-night partiers who want to sleep-in. Noise level was never too loud though, nothing that my noise-canceling headphones or the provided earplugs couldn't handle. Highly recommend!
