our stay at this apartment was just fine - can't beat the location. that said, the whole apartment smelled of natural gas for which we couldn't find a source. some of the lamps need some attention (didn't work or had exposed wires), which I found disappointing.
We actually live in Oakland and wanted this spot as a night away from home/kiddo. After realizing that the whole building looks like it was converted from (desperately needed) housing to Airbnb rentals, I can't say that we'll be back. Oakland (the whole bay area) needs more housing so I'm always disappointed to see when places have converted the whole building to Airbnb. that's just how it goes, I suppose.
