Helen was an excellent host, very friendly, available and ready to answer our needs. We would like to say that the apartment is very well equipped and comfortable, with an excellent bed, linen, amenities etc. Communication during our stay was very efficient and host is very clear in the way she conveys information. Check in and out were very easy and instructions well explained.
The apartment is at a 13 minute walk from a very well connected subway station in Oakland's very picturesque but not so pretty Chinatown. Neighbours are quiet and friendly. One will find several restaurants and markets right in front of the condo and a Wallgreens drugstore and pharmacy at about 15 minute walk. We recommend it as a cost effective stay for those visiting San Francisco.
