Beautiful space with excellent security and amenities, and incredibly convenient location in Downtown Oakland. We really enjoyed our 2-night stay as a family of 4 (parents and 2 kids, ages 6 and 3). It was a challenge to find an affordable place with great access to San Francisco, a pool, a kitchen, and a separate bedroom, so this unit was quite the gem.
We especially enjoyed the rooftop pool, which with a uniform depth of < 4ft was perfect for our kids, and a nearby locally owned small business for breakfast pastries and sandwiches. Weekday travel by car into SF took about 25 min, but weekend traffic added 10-15 min. We didn't have any issue finding street parking, but do watch the meters and read signs carefully.
Check-in was a bit tricky b/c elevator use requires a security card that we weren't able to get until getting to the unit, but with the concierge and host support it was manageable, and after that everything was smooth.
Ann was an incredible host and responded quickly to all communication. The house rules were also very easy to follow.
