I enjoyed my stay at Mehdi's place and it was great for working from home as well as exploring Oakland's vibrant restaurant and shopping scene. I had an issue checking in when I arrived, but Mehdi was responsive right away and offered a solution that worked out well for me, and I was appreciative of his diligence. The studio is very clean, cozy, and comfortable and it was stocked with all the amenities I needed to make some meals as well. I walked all over town, including Piedmont and Lake Merritt, and the bus stop was right across the street which made getting to SF very convenient. For the price, I felt like this was a great value for the neighborhood!
