If you are looking for a great place to stay in the Oakland/Lake Merritt area, then look no more bc this is what you have been looking for. Zoe's place is an awesome, private place with everything you need. There is nothing you need to bring but your personal stuff. Great kitchen, nice relaxing sitting area, great outdoor patio set, TV with Amazon and Nexflix, good internet, AC and a great bathroom and shower...very close to Lake Merritt and shops, grocery and eateries.
