While this is an excellent location next to Piedmont Ave, this place was decidedly just okay. Not as nice as it looks in the photos, and overpriced for what it is. Pretty dim lighting inside during the day, kinda dingy / cheap furnishings. WiFi was slow or nonexistent. It’s a good thing both of us didn’t have to work at the same time. Also half of the windows did not open and literally only one window in the entire place had a screen on it. Being on the ground floor in Oakland it didn’t make us very comfortable leaving the windows open to cool off on warm days. Towards the end of our stay another tenant moved into the upstairs unit and it sounded like a parade of elephants upstairs.
That said, it was clean enough, it was a roof over our heads. The host was nice and communication was good. And it was generally fine. Plus we love being walking distance to great shops and restaurants. But overall, I think you could find something comparable for a lot less $$.
