I looked at two studios in Alameda that I REALLY want. Yes, it does share bathroom with other tenants, like the Webster St. Hotel, but unlike the Webster St, they have a kitchen. They are 13 by 13 rooms with a closet. One had a full kitchen as a separate room, with a breakfast nook, the other also has a separate kitchenette, with small stove, fridge and sink, but barely any counter space. I would prefer the larger kitchen over the smaller, but I would take both.
I called on Tuesday and had a walk through an hour later. Both the mother and son where there and both were kind of... wishy-washy, maybe that too strong of a word, but they both were really unsure on how to answer questions like price and deposit etc.
I called two days later with no answer to the phone so I left a message. That would be Thursday evening. I called Fridays noon and again no answer, but hung up. Called Friday evening and left a message. I called Saturday morning and no answer so hung up. I kept telling myself "it memorial weekend, they must be out for the weekend".
Saturday afternoon I tried again but with the home phone and it got picked up by the, I assume, daughter, who said she was about to call me back. She said they haven't made a decision yet.
Sunday I receive no call and I didn't call.
It is now Monday, almost a full week since I looked at the place and I don't know if I have it or not. Do I not have it and they don't want to tell me for what ever reason or is it still open and they are just.... wishy-washy.
My other options, in Alameda, in my price range, without roommates are not very appealing.
Phylean's old place had a posting on craigslist a few weeks ago. It was on Grand and Telegraph in Oakland, walking distance to the 51 line, but it no longer on there and I didn't save the contact info.
