Camiel's studio apartment in central Oakland is beautiful. Very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The location is fantastic; in a lovely hilly area near Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland, just a stone’s throw from the Grand Avenue area (anchored by the palatial Grand Theater), where there are numerous excellent restaurants, cafés, bars, and local businesses. We felt that this apartment was an ideal base during our weeklong visit where we could easily drive to different locations around the San Francisco Bay area.
