The apartment was very nice and clean, and the location in north Oakland right on a few bus lines was very convenient. We enjoyed our stay. One thing to mention is that the host seems very concerned about noise issues. The host contact me twice about excessive noise: once when we are already asleep and had been for a while and the other when no one had been in the unit for several hours. We had a quiet stay at the unit so were perplexed as to why we kept getting noise complaints, especially given that we are asleep/gone for the timeframe of the noise complaints so it wasn't us being noisy. We did not hear any excessive neighborhood noise either from any neighbors so I wasn't sure what the issue was. Otherwise, the host is very communicative and responded quickly to questions and even helped coordinate with the cleaners the pickup of a left behind item.
