Elegant sunlit loft with unique features. A place like no other! The loft is close to many activities in Oakland by car. Host was great with communications and managing expectations. One feature that could getting a bed and couch with comfort to match the overall elegance of the loft. But the bed was comfortable enough, just on the firm side. I appreciate the use of cotton sheets and nice pillows and that the laundry products were not scented much, if at all. I am sensitive to product smells and polyester and I didn’t have a problem. We liked the art, books, and games. Decor was thoughtful, minimalist, and inspired. Really good energy in the loft overall! A wonderful hideout and home base for a stay in Oakland. Neighborhood is definitely a city. So, I would recommend bringing a sound machine and eye pillow for sleeping if you are a sensitive sleeper. I did and I slept very well. There are blinds for each window which are easy to operate. So, you can have privacy or a look out from the loft, depending on the vibe you want. Great kitchen too! I would stay here again next time we visit Oakland.
