My great experience with Albena started before I even reached the door. She saw be walking up the street and came to greet me. Albena escorted me to my lovely apartment and took the time to explain everything about the space in great detail. The apartment is very well appointed, especially the kitchen. The bathroom has a large and wonderful walk-in shower. And the bed has the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on while away from home. The living room is very comfortable and the TV is equipped with Apple TV. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe and there is a great cafe a 15 minute walk away. There are great restaurants close by, BART is close by, Berkeley and Oakland are on either side of Emeryville. In a nutshell, this apartment is about as good as it gets, IMHO, and Albena is a perfect host. I will return and I highly recommend anyone considering staying here to do so!
