“I wouldn't stay here again. We had to buy a lot of basics to keep the place clean (trash bags, sponges so we could do dishes, etc.). We had to clean the shower before using it because it was dirty and full of hair. It was in an area that didn't feel very safe (and I come from a metro area that's similar up to Oakland, so I'm comfortable with urban spaces).”

“Convenient for commuters, close to SF Bart. Good communication and easy access.”

“Great place with easy access to all of Oakland”

“Apartment very well located at downtown Oakland. Very good host”

“Water pressure wasn't great.”

“Great value! The beds were super comfortable, and the space was cozy. Lots of convenient appliances in the kitchen. Nearby Lake Merritt is beautiful to walk around. Very responsive host. Laundry outside takes quarters, so be sure to bring them. The only thing to consider is that, while the location is conveniently close to a BART station, the area felt somewhat unsafe. As with most of Oakland and SF, there are plenty of homeless people and a risk of muggings.”
