this is a great studio stay with a fully functional kitchen that made my first week starting a new job seemless. Julie is a great host and responsive if needed. Check-in was super easy. the place is clean and inviting. it is busy street but traffic subsides around 10 and doesn't pick up again until we'll after 7am. So it is quiet overnight. Safeway is a half mile walk away and some great dining as well. parking was not a problem at all. Over all this location is comfortable, clean and a great location to explore Oakland or surrounding areas. Would definitely stay here again.
