Vito and Karen were a pleasure to deal with.
We arrived late at night and they made arrangements for us to get access to the house.
We also appreciated the fresh milk, coffee and even a bottle of wine on our arrival
It is equipped with everything you need should you want to cook.
They left some great guides as to the best of Oakland and their community.
The traffic into San Fransisco can be quite heavy and parking in the city is a pain so we took the ferry in from the pier in Oakland and we all thoroughly enjoyed that.
The BART has a couple of stations nearby if you would prefer to go that way.
There are some beautiful eating and shopping districts within a very short drive of the house including areas in Berkley, Piedmont and the top of Shattuck Ave.
We really enjoyed our stay in Oakland.
