I had a good stay at Erika's home and she was a very pleasant host. We had some great conversations after work (commuted to San Francisco). Even though I didn't get to run around the area, she was very knowledgeable on the local restaurants and sites. Very close to BART and easy walking distance to the Berkley Bowl for groceries. Neighborhood was generally nice and walkable. I definitely would recommend staying there. Thanks for letting me stay there!
