We had a wonderful time at Alicia's place. The studio was actually bigger than it looked in the pictures, especially the bathroom was great. Everything was very clean, there were towels, shampoo and body wash, a coffee maker and cream and Alicia also provided bottled water. Going without a kitchen totally worked for the weekend and I would recommend staying there for a short visit to the bay area, the time you'll spend driving to San Francisco by public transport ist totally worth the money you'll save staying in Oakland.
