Great location, great space!

We enjoyed 5 days in this spacious apartment within walking distance of Lake Merritt. The neighborhood is quiet and parking is available. The kitchen had everything we needed and the courtyard offered lovely space to relax in the afternoon sun. Karina was very responsive and check-in and out instructions were clear and concise. Thank you!

Geuinely a great stay

Extremely clean with all provided house supplies easy to locate. Having access to the driveway was really great for avoiding street parking. Also it's a great place to stay if you have little ones they provide small basic furnitures like high chairs and stools.

Centrally located charmer

We loved the decor/vibe of this place. Spacious and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen was sooo well-equipped—I brought spices and a nutribullet, none of which I needed! The downstairs patio was so lovely and peaceful, I wish we’d had time to use it more. So nice to let our dog out down the stairs first thing in the Morning. Only 10 Minutes’ drive away from Our daughter, it was fairly convenient. Didn’t adore the neighborhood, but it was mostly quiet. Jerl, one of the hosts, was friendly, helpful, and responsive to the few requests we had.2 notes: their dog, Sushi, whined st night when no one was there. And bed is very soft, a bit too much for us other reviewers have loved it).

I was very pleased with the proximity of this place to where my cousins live (there are plenty of nearby restaurants, so we ate out). The best part was being able to do laundry as I had another week of traveling!

Really Terrific

We stayed at this very comfortable property for four nights. It’s as the description says - no fisheye lenses or exaggerations. The bed is very comfy, as is the living room furniture. Full kitchen with everything you’ll need. At first we were a bit concerned about the neighborhood, but I felt perfectly safe walking to the store. Our host was remarkable. PG&E shut off the power for a few hours one day, which messed up their modem. Rather than have me wait until it was convenient for her, Karina went to the store, got the new modem and had the WiFi up and running while we were out. She accommodated every request, and did it with a smile. We were very pleased with this property and would stay there again in a heartbeat. heartbeat. convenient for her, Kieran

Really pleasant stay

Hosts were super friendly and accessible. Place was as expected. Would agree with other comments that you want a small car for the driveway not a minivan like we ended up with! I would also agree that a queen bed would be more desirable. A double is pretty small these days. Appreciated the amenities. The back yard is beautiful and a calm respite. Overall, very nice.
