Donald's place is a great value in a cool Oakland neighborhood. The bed is really comfortable, as is the futon couch. I loved the great light that the apartment gets in the afternoons. Wifi worked great. I appreciated the little touches like a well equipped kitchen, tips on parking, and plenty of trash cans everywhere! The apartment was quiet and yet close to lots of cool stuff. Donald was an excellent communicator. Of the other AirBnBs we considered, this seemed like the best value for our price range. Sure, the apartment was a bit less polished than some of the places that cost twice as much (or more) for the same (or less!) amount of space, but for the price you're getting a comfortable, large, clean, and well-located space. If you're considering Donald's place for your stay in Oakland, I say go for it!
