Newly Renovated Artist Loft in Historic Building Near ~BART~

This loft was so spacious and beautiful! My boyfriend and I were in love! There was great natural lighting, a beautiful kitchen, and bathroom! I felt right at home staying here and never wanted to leave!! Definitely would come back and stay here again!

lovely artists' studio -- easy walk to a great Pho sandwich place and Lake Merritt

This is a funky (in a good way) loft in an historic building. Owner is friendly. The neighborhood had a lot of activity at night. The water hotpot had mold in it. Also the trash was not removed from the previous guest - probably just overlooked along with a couple of other small items.

Nice condo in a friendly building. Safe, affordable, and centrally located. I recommend staying here.

Everyone was kind and accommodating. Loft was cozy, romantic and stocked with everything you need. A home away from home. We loved our six week stay.

Sheila and Lissa are wonderful people. It’s been a great time staying here.

This flat is very well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The building is safe and secure. The neighborhood is okay...I am accustomed to navigating in areas where there is a mix of people with varying levels of mental health. My daughter lives a block away and she has thrived in this neighborhood. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Oakland.

The loft is cute and all the space a couple needs for a stay. The neighborhood was pretty rough looking on first glance. The Taco Bell next door is noisy throughout the night but not terrible. Even though the neighborhood is a bit rough, there are so many great spots within walking distance! We embraced the neighborhood and ended up having a really good time and walked everywhere we needed to.

This is a difficult review . While there were good things about this property, there were things that made it not so good. First, and worst, is that our rental car was broken into on the street in front of the building. The bed was comfortable, and as in other reviews, there were lots of nice clean linens, but the shower was terrible. The loft was dark and there were several light bulbs that needed to be replaced. And although there were lots of windows most of them were in odd locations and not very clean, so they didn’t do much for light during the day. There were good restaurants in walking distance so the location was convenient for this, but the surroundings directly around the building that the loft was in weren’t comfortable at all. We did enjoy our stay, but it could have been a lot better

The apartment is comfortable, spacious for a studio,. well furnished, plenty of clean towels and linens, comfortable bed. During the chilly damp week of my stay the heater kept the apartment warm to suit my preference. Walk to BART is about 10 minutes, with good options for diners bars and clubs along the way. The location is reasonably quiet except for some noise around the neighboring fast food drive-thru. Would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to visit this Oakland neighborhood, or for a reasonable base for travel to San Francisco (this was my purpose).
