I was coming from living overseas and was in Oakland for a knee replacement surgery. I was also there with my cat! Laysin made my stay (with crutches to a cane to straight walking with no pain) so much easier with the support I had in the apartment. No matter what question or issue I had Laysin addressed it immediately. He went out of his way to ensure that the apartment met my needs. The location of the apartment is perfect for recovery (short walks to restaurants, little shops and even Trader Joe's) as well as a beautiful location just up a bit from Merritt Lake with great walks. It would be an ideal spot for holiday as well as work (and recovery)!
