Nightmare of a location
I’ve been to 3rd world countries that are safer and cleaner than Oakland. With that being said, this property is located in the epicenter of Oakland’s homeless, drug, and violence problem. During our stay, we experienced the worst of it; vagrants and homeless encampments just steps away from the subdivision, and to top it all off, an active shooting. It also didn’t help that the property wasn’t properly sanitized and had leftover/open bottles of alcohol left in the fridge. When we complained, the property manager explained that they don’t believe in waste. 1. We’re not so far removed from the pandemic that this is below standard. 2. The property manager should be sensitive to people of different religions, as many families do not consume alcohol. Overall, if you could avoid this area and this property all together, you should.
