We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Jose and Julia's and can thoroughly recommend their place to anyone either visiting the Oakland area or San Francisco. It is a spacious, very well presented and of a very high standard studio apartment with everything you could wish for including bathroom toiletries.
Julia was on hand throughout our stay and quick to respond to our requests and extremely helpful in providing information on places to visit.
It is a good 25 minute walk to the local BART Station but we would recommend taking an Uber to Jack London Square (approx $12) and from there the ferry across the bay to San Francisco ($7). This is a great way to see the sights and very relaxing and Jack London Square is a great place to spend an evening for drinks and dinner. We thoroughly recommend you visit Swan Market which is approximately 10 minutes walk from the Square and is a great eating experience.
A great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco.
Would definitely recommend.
