The hosts are friendly and helpful. The room is large and furnished with just enough stuff. You can access tea and toast and cereal at will. There’s tons of street parking. It’s maybe a 10-15-minute walk to restaurants and TJ’s and Walgreens and the nearest part of Lake Merritt, although note that it’s quite hilly if that presents a concern for you. Guests have their own half bath and use the family’s shower, which worked fine, and I was able to shower when I wanted to. All in all it was great value and a comfortable stay.
