We really enjoyed our one week stay at Jennifer & Bradley's apartment!
The apartment had a lot of charm and we really enjoyed the traditional layout. It was spotless when we arrived. There is a lot of space, with two eating areas, and it was great having access to the laundry room too. As other reviewers have mentioned, the driveway is very narrow and a bit tricky to negotiate but street parking was very busy, so we really appreciated having the parking place in the driveway.
The location of the apartment is superb. The neighbourhood itself is charming and quiet, and it is a short walk to either Grand Ave or Lakeshore Blvd with all the shops, restaurants and other amenities on offer. We could have easily spent another week sampling all the restaurants and still not tried them all! We appreciated Jennifer and Bradley's recommendations, and had Star pizza on the first night, which was great. We spent a fun birthday evening at the The Alley piano bar, another evening at Bardo, and in the day enjoyed the bakeries (Colonial doughnuts - 24 hours!) and Arizmendi, a Bay Area favorite, along with coffee from Sister's coffee and finding some treasures at Walden Pond Books (both on Grand Ave)
We also enjoyed the Saturday's Farmer's Market, with all of the amazing range of fruits and bakery goods on offer - followed by a beautiful walk around Lake Merritt!
The location is very central with a freeway entrance nearby, making it very quick and easy to get to San Francisco, Berkeley and other parts of Oakland.
We would happily stay in this apartment again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Bay Area.
