Overall I had a great experience staying here! I loved the location near Lake Merritt and Lake Merritt Whole Foods. The beds were clean and very comfy. The shower was very nice and the host had a hair dryer, shampoos, soaps, and tolitelries in the cabinet for people to use if needed. The host was very helpful in describing transportation resources near by and suggestions of how to get around in her neighborhood. If you are staying with a group of people in the Lake Merritt this is a good option as there are 3 separate twin beds next to each other that are very nice ( and a 4th bed that can be set up if needed) My friends and I used Lyft and were very happy how close we were to all the restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood. Peggy communicated very quickly via text when I had questions while staying there. The only inconvenience was slower older toilet which flushed but took a little bit to fill up in between flushes. The location of this place is amazing! It was a treat to be in Lake Merritt neighborhood where I could Lyft very quickly to the various spots we wanted to see. I liked how you had privacy with your own bathroom and didnt have to share bathroom with host and privacy in side entrance of the house if you come back later at night and dont want to bother anybody.
