We really enjoyed our stay at Amy's cabin right across from Lake Merritt. It was quiet, cozy and clean which was exactly what we needed and the hosts were very friendly. It was the perfect walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants and bars and otherwise a great location which was a definite advantage for us. Would definitely recommend to others for a trip where you're not planning on doing a whole lot of cooking with the kitchenette, but it was exactly what we were looking for since we were out and about for most of the weekend.
