We highly recommend Grace and Lucia's Glenview Apartment if you are looking for a place to stay in Oakland. This was our first Airbnb experience and and it could not have been better. Grace and Lucia are welcoming hosts who care about providing a comfortable environment for their guests. Communication was excellent and they helped accommodate our specific needs.
There are also many positives about staying in this location including a comfortable and roomy apartment, an outdoor deck with bay views, close by street parking, quiet neighborhood, walking distance to great restaurants, very easy access to major roads and highways. We cannot imagine staying in a hotel again now that we know about this option!
