Excellent little get away and chance to explore oakland and surrounding area. This place is exactly as described. Temescal alley is a 5 minute walk for morning coffee. We were enjoying the quad shot oatmilk lattes. Cant get 3 shots so you have to get 4, not a bad option for taste and caffeine. Public transit here is great. Lyft worked for getting to the airport late at night and early in the morning, clipper card for bus and train took care of the other transport needs. The artwork and food of the surrounding area was a highlight. And the flowers and trees were a feast for the senses in May, great private gardens. Lots of over grown spaces and the houses are all different but similar giving oakland a very authentic neighborhood feel, maybe that's why they call it the town. Oh and there is a tree symbol on every street sign. Also there was a 24 hour walkathon with party music at the local tech high school. Which helped us feel connected to the neighborhood and was fun to witness. The whole area really does feel unified with signs of support for teachers, minority groups and activists. We will definitely be back to explore as we just scratched the surface. Thanks to our hosts who provided just the instructions needed and made it a very private experience.
