Parks & Nature
Lake Merritt is a great place for runners, joggers, walkers but also to relax outside, read, people watch and enjoy the diversity of Oakland. There's a farmer market on the weekends as well as a Bonsai Garden and Fairyland. Lake Merritt is about 5k all around and just short of 2 miles away from the apartment.

Fruitvale Bart is the closest station to the apartment but I prefer to use 12th city center Bart in Downtown Oakland because it is centrally located to other bus lines and has shorter times and fares to other Bart trains if you want to avoid transferring. The 1 bus goes directly to the city center in about a 15min bus ride.
