I saw the 4.99 star review for Alisa's spot and thought it might be too good to be true -- but no, it really is a 5 star spot. The place itself is a cute studio, in a top location -- however, it's Alisa's close attention to detail that really makes this a 5-star stay. The place is impeccably clean, everything you'd possibly need within your stay is already thought of, and Alisa is great with communication. On top of that, she was super kind and accommodating to our short-notice changes.
If this is available, book it! I'll be in Oakland again for a few weeks next summer and I already know where my work from home destination is going to be!
