We arrived around midnight, and even though Allison had given plenty of clear instructions for finding the key and getting into the house, she was waiting up for us. The room was just as described and was perfect for my 17-year-old daughter and me. The bed was comfy, the room and shared bathroom were clean, and the wifi was easy to access. Allison and Amy gave us great sightseeing tips and we felt comfortable coming and going as we pleased. The street itself is nice and pretty, and mass transit at the Oakland Coliseum Station (where the A's, Raiders and Warriors play) is five minutes away by car or Uber. Allison and Amy advised us not to walk in the neighborhood in the evening or early morning, which was good advice since some nearby blocks are pretty sketchy. However, it's easy and cheap to get to San Francisco and other places with the excellent mass transit system. If you are looking for a pristine, ritzy neighborhood, this is not for you. However, if you are looking for a good, clean room, wonderful hosts, and easy access to San Francisco, this is a great choice. We loved it.
