Michel’s place is absolutely amazing! It was exactly as pictured and absolutely worth checking out. It was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need while staying there and it was evident that Michel put a lot of thought into his spot and made sure to include everything that could be needed during your stay. Street parking was easy, we never had to park more than 1 block away. It is very closely located (like easily within walking distance) to Target, Pak-N-Save (grocery store), and plenty of restaurants. There also is a free bus in Emeryville (Emery-Go-Round) that stops a few blocks away and takes you to the MacArthur BART station and you can ride into SF or anywhere in the Bay Area very easily. From MacArthur to the first stop in SF (Embarcadero) was only $3.75, which is so much better than trying to drive and park.
Michel was very responsive when we would contact him and even gave us a heads up of the street cleaning day and reminded us to move our car.
Definitely stay at Michel’s if you’re coming to the Bay Area!!!
