This is a perfect home away from home. Very comfortable, stylish, fresh and full of nice touches like muffins, fruit and coffee and fresh orchids on the table. The neighborhood is charming, a few blocks to Lake Merritt, walking distance to cafes, boat rentals, the Oakland Museum of California and much more. Heidi was a gracious, considerate, responsive and efficient host. Definitely the place to stay if you are visiting Oakland or nearby places like Berkeley or Alameda. And make sure to visit Redwood Regional Park and Chabot Space Center, only 15 minutes drive away.
