My Italian friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at David's place. The apartment is huge, larger than I expected, in fact, and it's extremely well-furnished in a tastefully modern style. There is pretty much any amenity one could want in an urban apartment. We actually had another friend join us unexpectedly one night, and he was able to take advantage of the extra space up in the attic that David is transforming into a fourth bedroom. The cool bidet/toilets were a pleasant surprise! The neighborhood where the apartment is located is somewhat noisy and bustling, but that is to be expected in an up-and-coming city like Oakland. The apartment has its own parking space, which makes arrival and departure and using the car while there a breeze. I definitely recommend David's place as an aesthetically pleasing (and reasonably priced) alternative for lodging when visiting San Francisco.
