My wife and I had a very pleasant two week stay at this apartment. The location was very nice, on a pleasant residential street with lots of good restaurants and shops in easy walking distance. The apartment itself was of good size with a nice kitchen. Laysin responded quickly to our few questions and concerns. Parking was occasionally a challenge but we always managed to find a spot within a short walking distance. In our final two days there was a neighbor in the apartment above ours who was just a bit noisy at night, this was a minor annoyance. In any case, we would definitely stay there again on a visit to Oakland. This is just the kind of place we like when we travel, offering an up close and personal experience of local life in a new town or city.
