The location and communication with our host was great! We got some nice tips for local areas to visit and they responded quickly!
The host did bring to our attention about the ant situation in Oakland. Despite our efforts to keep all surfaces clean of food, the ants still returned to the kitchen and surprisingly to one of the bedrooms.
The rooms can get a bit stuffy when it's warm. Cracking open the windows helped!
Also, the specification about the garbage and recycling bins were a bit vague. We tried our best to sort everything given the bins and bags that were provided.
Overall, my friends and I enjoyed our stay! The location wasn't too far from the city. The street parking can be difficult to fit bigger cars - we were lucky parking with a hatchback!
Quiet neighbourhood to stay in when in Oakland!
