Great location for Lake Merritt area! We worked remote in the house (WiFi was good!) and were able to take advantage of the close coffee shops, restaurants, and Whole Foods to make our several day stay easy. BART is about a 15 minute walk from the spot, but you can easily walk to Downtown and cute neighborhoods. Wouldn't necessarily describe it as "quiet" per the listing, given that it's located right off a busy street, so would not suggest if you're a light sleeper. Host was super communicative and proactive. Would stay here again for a short stay in this area!
