Our stay at Erika’s place was lovely. The space is open, clean, and peaceful. The area is beautiful even if not quite walkable. Very upscale and quiet area and near everything as long as you have a car (or perhaps a bike). While there is not a full kitchen, there is an instapot, microwave, toaster oven, and fridge. Also the shared space includes a kitchen sink and newer washer and dryer. We stayed for a few weeks and were able to cook meals most nights. Erika and her partner are very kind and respectful of privacy. We had an issue with Airbnb (that was 100% NOT Erika’s fault) and she truly went above and beyond to help us - she’s a very kind and understanding person. Airbnb basically told us to screw off, but Erika resolved the problem on her own. Would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in the east bay - long or short stay .
