Sharon was extremely quick in responses and that was very much appreciated.
Since it was an apartment building it felt very safe; it also felt quiet and private. There is a code to get into the main door and you get a key to the door to your individual room (There were three rooms in the apt.)
There was a semi-private balcony which was awesome (it was totally private for me because I never saw anyone else out there, but it shares with the next room, and there is a structure in between to give it more of a private feel.)
The place was clean and there’s also hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, gloves, and masks out in the common area for guests to use if they need which is a nice touch in these times.
The room includes a heater, fan, hairdryer, iron and ironing board and those amenities were definitely appreciated. There was also a desk, wardrobe, and night table in the room.
For me the location can’t be beat; it’s a around the corner from 12th st BART, and you’ve got Old Oakland and Chinatown on either side of you so the food options are plentiful, (I do think I gained 5 pounds off dim sum alone!)
I would certainly stay here again if I needed a place in Oakland.
