The apartment was basically a small studio without a stove. There was a microwave, and refrigerator/freezer. This place is perfect for a person who just needs a place to sleep and watch some tv before bed. The place was clean and modern; it appeared recently renovated. The building was very quite. The street noise is high due to being on the bus line. The noise from traffic and buses dies down around 9 pm. The location is very close to a nice lake and the city center. No off-street parking but I was able to park on the street during my stay. I stayed during a very hot week, and there is no AC (generally not needed in Oakland) and having the windows open didn't help, especially with the street noise and the occasional smoke from smokers walking by.

Overall, a perfect location if you want to be close to the mix in Oakland. Great wifi too. The checkin process was easy and just as the host said. I was pleased with the stay.
