Great lovely place to stay in Oakland! Better than the pictures! :) Impeccable, pretty, very close to the Bart (train) station, and super easy to get to San Francisco within 10-15 minutes. It is inside a victorian house on the first floor with other units. I was always nice and quiet. It has everything you need to feel at home and more: clean towels, bedlinen, a full nice little kitchen for simple cooking with pots, pans and plates, coffee and tea, and even some basic ingredients and staples which we didn't expect!, nice books to read, tub and hair dryer in the bathroom, an extra heater which we didn't need, and cute simple decor with nice touches. Information for self check in/out was very detailed and clear, although they were always there to help. There are some homeless people around sometimes, but we never felt unsafe walking in the area. Great value! I would highly recommend it.
