The location of this Airbnb is great—very central in Oakland. We were able to walk to many places and enjoyed the shops down Grande Ave (Bay Grape wine bar is fantastic!) and be sure to check out the very cool spice shop, Oaktown Spice Shop. We ate at the Grande Lake Kitchen twice. Everyone in the neighborhood was super nice.
The space is very clean. However, the building and common areas not as well kept as the apartment itself. It has a bit of a musty smell. No one else has mentioned this in the reviews, so it could be that I just notice it more? In any case, thought I'd mention it here for others in case they're sensitive to things like that so they can take it into account.
The bed is a "sleep by number" so you can adjust the firmness with a remote control which is nice. I think it uses air, but not really sure? I didn't mind it for a few nights, but if you're sleeping with another person, the mattress does move when they get in / out.
Overall, we had a good stay, and the hosts are very friendly and communicative. We were able to check-in a little early, and they were available if we needed them.
