My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this location very much. It was a spacious house with a great view, located on a quiet street but close to the retail centers of College Ave and Piedmont Ave. A Starbucks and Safeway were in walking distance, and we had several nice lunches and dinner in the neighborhood. The Rockridge BART isn't too far either, about a 15-20 minute walk. If you want to get a sense of Oakland, this is a great stop.
