We had a great stay--we have family that is within walking distance, so the location was perfect, and the neighborhood is pretty quiet and the neighbors are kind too. Even though April and her family live downstairs, we barely heard them, and they were respectful of the separation between the two units. We had initially planned only to stay for a few days, but when our other plans changed because of historic rain and flooding, April was flexible and let us extend our stay without any issues.
Next time we are in Oakland we will absolutely check to see if April's home is available again!
