Alisa’s place was sparkling clean, thoughtfully furnished & had the bonuses of treats & bottled water, towels and toiletries. Double plus, modern tv with YouTube, Netflix etc access. It was extremely clear that a lot of thought and care had gone in to making this place as cosy and homelike as possible for a traveller. Alisa was also very communicative and accommodating. The area, Lake Merritt, is beautiful and safe. Only a short BART across the bay to SF but also has its own charms and sightseeing spots. If we find ourself back this way, we’ll for sure be staying here again. Thank you Alisa!
