We were provided with a full description of contacts and house rules etc before our arrival as our hosts were away for the duration of our stay. The contacts were good and we had no difficulties at all.

We were very impressed with the apartment. It was very clean and spacious. We had no problem being at the apartment as all of the facilities we needed were at hand and easily accessible. There were no extras or additional items that we required.

We were also pleased with the location. Our daughter lives on Grand Avenue, just 10 minutes walk away. We were also very close to two excellent bakeries, a Trader Joes and several restaurants (Sushi, Thai, Indian, plus more) for all of our shopping and eating needs. The walk to our daughters also takes in a corner of Lake Merritt, and we walked round the whole of the lake, about 3 miles, as the weather was so good. My wife also went to the mass at the `'`Our Lady of Lourdes Church" on Lakeshore Avenue - also en route to our daughters place.
We needed to get to San Francisco a couple of times and this we did using the BART. The route needs a 30 minute walk - at our pace - to 19th / 20th Street stations and is a fair distance. It is wise to look at this and perhaps use a cab. We had our daughters car - on occasion- so were able to plan whether we wanted to walk or not.

We also benefited from the excellent San Francisco/Oakland weather - another good reason to leave behind the wet/windy British climate. It was just as bad when we got back home after the trip!!

All in all we were delighted with our airb&b. It was a pity that we didn't get to meet up with Na and Steve, but as we will be returning some time next year we feel we have a place that we can book that will suit all of our needs. We will do this as soon as we have fixed dates as there will certainly be competition with others for the airb&b.

We have no reservation in wholeheartedly recommending this excellent airb&b to all who may be interested.
