The apartment is great! Clean and stylish.

Brittney and Annalisa were friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Couldn't ask for better hosts.

The location has a big upside. It's right in Downtown Oakland and the price is a good value compared to nearby hotels. I didn't have a car during my visit, and it's a 5 minute walk from the BART, which was great. It's also a 10-15 minute walk from Uptown, Old Town, Chinatown, and Jack London Square. There's a ton to do close by.

But the blocks right around the apartment have a bunch of SRO hotels and transitional housing. So there's a lot of activity on the street, including frequent loud music and conversation right outside. I can sleep through anything and live in a neighborhood with similar activity, so it was no stress. But if you're a light sleeper or aren't comfortable with city life, it might not be the right place.
