This spot in Berkeley was absolutely perfect for me over the Summer. It’s a nice size bedroom and good bed. Private bathroom with tub and a little sitting room with a desk.
There’s a shared kitchen and laundry right by the suite; all very convenient.
I did not meet Anja-Karina but Kent hosted me there - very warm and friendly guy who has hosted many people before and he made me feel very welcome. The neighbourhood is really beautiful, and there’s loads of stuff really nearby: it’s 2 mins from the Ashby BART station (from which you can get red line into SF), Whole Foods, a cool Irish pub, a burger place and much more.
