Kalkidan was a kind host and my colleagues and I appreciated getting to stay at this cozy spot for our work retreat. The place came equipped with the necessities, some basic kitchen supplies, and really strong and fast wifi. The furnishings/decorations are nice and the backyard is really spacious and sunny. The house is in a location of Fruitvale that makes getting around elsewhere in the Bay Area really easy. It can be a bit noisy on this busy street though! We did have a few small issues like a leaky sink but Kalkidan was gracious about it. Kalkidan was prompt and easy to communicate with, and even gave us some supplies/ingredients for making smores as a welcome gift!
