Patrick's house was a terrific place to stay in Oakland. It is very sleek and modern and super-clean. It even has remote control shades! The upstairs bedrooms were spacious and the in suite bathrooms were great to have. There is noise in the master bedroom from the freeway the house overlooks, but we still slept well. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood, though it was a little bit of a walk to a grocery and/or drug store. Patrick responded super-fast to any queries. The house is on three levels, so anyone with mobility issues should take note of that fact. Overall, we had a great time at the house and would happily stay there again.
