My husband and I just spent a week here and would highly recommend it if you're traveling to the East Bay. The apartment is comfortable and convenient if you need to get anywhere in the East Bay or San Francisco. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is equipped for basics, the shower gets good and hot, and the decor is charming. The parking space and laundry on site were a big bonus. Communication with Jess is easy and there's a digital lock on the door, so coming and going are simple. The neighborhood is fine, although if you're not used to Oakland it might feel too urban for some tastes. I would definitely stay here again.
