The place was everything I expected. Check in was really simple.The place had all the basic needs for a comfortable stay as well as being really clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. The place was also decorated with portraits with information on gardening and all kinds of fruits/vegetables so that was a neat touch on the owners' part. Didn't use a car but the street seemed to have plenty of parking. The place was a 5 minute walk away from a grocery store so that was a plus. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Oakland.
