Location is amazing - it literally is right beside the train station (not for light sleepers!!) and was very easy getting in and out of the city. Without going into the city, Oakland has plenty of food options to explore, too.
The house is well-equipped, from hairdryers to coffee machines (with coffee powder!) and the sofabeds are adequate to sleep in as well. Each room has its own heater instead of centralized. Water pressure is strong and basic amenities are provided for.
We had an enjoyable stay and will recommend to any small groups to consider Rose's place.
