Pamela is a very gracious host who goes out of her way to make the experience a positive one. I absolutely fell in love with the neighborhood while staying here and will miss it a lot! I spent most of my evenings after work walking around Lake Merritt and exploring Oakland. There’s no laundry at the place, but there’s a very convenient Laundromat around the corner as well as a coffee shop and stores. Parking wasn’t much of a hassle and the neighbors are friendly. Highly recommended!
