La Tonya was a funny and lovely host. Myself and 3 friends arrived slightly earlier than scheduled via UBER from Oakland bus station and we met her daughter Bre who was worried because she hadn't mopped what already seemed like a very clean floor. This shows their attention to detail. The apartment was spotless and very comfortable. It looked liked it had been decorated recently. It had a coffee machine and was stocked up plenty with coffee shots and creamers for us to enjoy, and a refrigerator and cooker so we were able to cook in the apartment. An hour after our initial arrival LaTonya came to welcome us with a goody bag of bagels, fruit juice, cream cheese and apples as a little treat. We really appreciated this small touch. She let us know that if we needed anything we only had to call to her at the house next door. Other than a few check ins, we were left to ourselves for our stay. Oakland gets a reputation for being rough but this house seems to be on one of the quieter streets. And with the prices of places in the city it's not the worst thing to look that bit further away to get more for your money. To get to San Fran from here you will either be spending at least $40 each way in an UBER or you can walk 15/20 mins to the Fruitvale BART train station which is about $8 for a return ticket, although the service ends after 12:30am or so. This place is perfect for a couple or small group of friends sharing and we would definitely stay again if we came back to the city. Thank you LaTonya for being great! :)
