Hello again! My name is Richard, I am a Canadian med student who was placed for Clerkships at Highland Hospital for a period spanning three months, again for a period of 2 months and will be going back to Karin's for another two months as it is the most convenient location, it is a clean home, with a great/awesome/fantastic host and definitely by far the best priced for what you get in that area which is safe and clean. As per my previous review, the neighborhood is quiet, SAFE, clean and full of beautiful/lush gardens in front of upper-middle class homes. Although it offers the feeling of being in a small gated community because you are at the end of the road, the location is in proximity to the highways, nearby stores,cleaners, salons,coffee,nice restaurants,deli/pizza place, short walk to Dimond Park. As for Lake Merrit and Jack London Square (10 minute drive tops, very strategic location overall!!!). The home is consistent with pictures, great view of SF from the breakfast nook and room, clean/orderly, awesome mattress, very nicely renovated bathroom, cozy full modern kitchen, had plenty of space for clothes and there is also a small desk for laptops as seen on the the pic ( the place is quiet and serene it is ideal for studying or working). The beautiful home is kept clean and orderly; Karin changes the bedsheets every week! As for Karin, she has a positive energy,maintains a proper home and requires a baseline of decorum if you're going to be her guest, she is very kind, nice, quick whitted, well read, funny, friendly, attentionate to the guests needs yet offers you privacy, peace and quiet. Overall my experience was great, as it is extremely difficult to find a place that combines cleanliness, all the amenities provided at Karin's (sheets, full kitchen, shampoo, towels, parking...), safety, convenience in such a great setting and location. Karin's has become my home away from home when I am in the Bay Area. Finally, I wish to mention that Karin has upgraded the room in between my visits, accordingly guest can now benefit from a bedside Iphone charger, bedside light, electric heated blanket while new additions are profuse as Karin takes great pride in her home and always strives to better her already beautiful living space.
