Lovely, sunny apartment that was an easy walk to Lake Merritt -- plus amazing restaurants and shops over on Grand and Lakeshore. (Down the street is Haddon Hill Cafe -- an amazing coffee + pastry place to stroll around the lake with.) The charm and vibe of the place is what I love about Oakland -- an old apartment with a lot of stories to tell in a quiet neighborhood that offers a lot (and has changed... a lot!).
