The lake access was so pretty and having all the basics for kitchen and laundry was so helpful. Going in the heat of summer was the only issue, as there is just one AC unit in the living room so both the bedroom and the kitchen stay really warm. Otherwise, it was near the family we were visiting and made for a relaxing home base.

Nice access to the lake
The location on the lake was wonderful. The Apartment was clean. Well stocked. Internet was very fast. Bonus: Coffee/tea and snacks were offered. Cons: It was a bit musty smelling, I am a light sleeper and with the windows open, I could hear a lot of traffic. With the windows closed it was much better.

First time to Oakland
Decent old farm house with water access. Convenient to get to.
No complaints except that the driveway (parking) was difficult to find at night

Sugggetions: get some coat hangers for the closet. Get some night lights for left and right of bed for if people want to read a book at night and don’t want to wake up partner. Most importantly, sand the out door railing! Somebody is going to ceriously complain about it worse. Both my wife and I had gotten big splinters several times, going up and down the stairs. And about the stairs and landing that should be swept and cleaned.
