This is a great little second floor loft “house”. We kept calling it a tree house, because of the fun entrance and the beautiful trees around the deck. Note it is difficult to get bigger bags up the private ladder so make sure you have help! The hosts are great, the parking secure and the unit is clean, comfy and private. With the unit being in a quite neighborhood behind the main house there is a bit of extra security. Note: during the day you can hear the neighbors on the side, nothing to bad just close quarters city life.
I will say for the area, while the main neighborhood is nice, keep towards the Jack London Square (north/east) side of things, the other sides of Oakland (south/west) can get a bit much (especially if your not used to city life) as there are many homeless encampments due to the massive housing crisis in the Bay Area. So just get to know the area a little before being out late.
