Clara’s place was a great home base during our recent family trip to Oakland. The apartment was cozy, clean and exactly as-described. My 4-year old appreciated the trove of books and toys in the apartment, and having two bedrooms made it much easier to accommodate an earlier kid bedtime. The only consideration for travelers with youngsters is that the second bedroom does not have shades or curtains. If your little one is light sensitive and too small to wear eye shades, and you don’t want to wake up at dawn, plan to bring window coverings.
