What a treat! It was a nice and comfy place to come back to after a chaotic day helping with wedding prep. I also thought the location was pretty centralized to everything Oakland has to offer, especially if you are driving or taking Lyft. I went to school nearby for a few years, so I am pretty aware of the area and I felt comfortable parking my car on the street overnight. It does get a little warm in the loft in the summer afternoons, but if you are going to be out enjoying your day then it will hardly be an issue at all!
