Karina’s place was much bigger than the pictures show! It was all updated and the shower felt even more spacious compared to the one I have at home. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We made breakfasts and dinner with ease. There is a local Trader Joe’s nearby and I would recommend exploring Oakland’s shops too! We found some nice things to take home with us. Lake Merritt was fun to visit- we spent some time in San Fransisco too but I enjoy the “family feel” and vibes that Oakland has to offer.
The ONLY downside was that the bathtub wouldn’t hold water. Pretty sure it is an easy fix, just some tightening up on the plug. I tried to do that myself but didn’t have a screwdriver. If you have young kids and they refuse a shower, that might be something you should double check. Luckily, my kids are okay with showers!
Karina’s response time was quick and she offered help whenever needed. She had candles out and cute little touches around the house. It really is a beautiful space! Thanks again!
