I had a wonderful time staying here for a week while visiting a friend in Oakland! The studio is super comfortable -
- the kitchen and bathroom have everything you need, the day bed always gave me a good night's sleep, and the entire place is beautifully furnished. The two things I would say could be a downside for some people (though they weren't for me) were the distance from the BART station (about 25 min walk) and the proximity to the freeway (but the noise is very muffled by the trees and I never had any problems sleeping - think ocean waves level of noise). If you don't have a problem walking or have a car, and if you aren't super sensitive to noise while sleeping, then this place is perfect. I also really appreciated the proximity to Trader Joe's and some good restaurants, as well as the beautiful walk around Lake Merritt. Eric and Jillian gave me an incredibly warm welcome on my arrival, and seemed to have thought of absolutely everything! If you're headed to Oakland, I definitely suggest staying here.
