Wir sind als 4-köpfige Familie kurz nach dem Check in direkt wieder abgereist, da sich die Wohnung in einer aus unserer Sicht problematischen Gegend befindet, in der wir uns nicht wohl und sicher gefühlt hätten. Die Wohnung sah aus wie in der Beschreibung und machte einen sauberen Eindruck.

Whether it’s exploring the local farmers’ markets, catching a live performance, or just taking a stroll through the tree-lined streets, there’s always something special to discover. It’s the perfect place to feel at home while experiencing all the best Oakland has to offer!
