Patrick's place was great for my family of 4. We primarily used it as home base while we were in the area taking in sights and visiting friends. While i was a bit skeptical of Oakland, this area is a great, safe neighborhood. Very close to restaurants and shopping around Grand Lake. And very close to the highway for trips into SF or getaways to wine country. The row home was extremely comfortable. Each bedroom had ample space and was modern in decor. The open living room and kitchen was tastefully decorated. The bathrooms were well stocked with soaps, Q-tips, Shampoo. Also a plus were the bidets. We have them in our own home, so finding them here was a treat. The kitchen was stocked with basics, oil, spices, coffee, etc. Communication with Patrick was great. He would always respond within a matter of minutes. Parking was easy to find on the street. Highly recommend a stay here
