Katha was a wonderful host who made my girlfriend and myself feel welcome from the first moment! She responded within an hour of our inquiry and by that evening, we were enjoying her large room with a very nice and comfortable bed. She made great accomodations for all of our needs and we felt completely at home with her! The room was also wonderfully private since it's on the opposite side of the house, and we had all the ameneties we needed, including laundry and internet. The location was fantastic; the immediate neighborhood was nice and felt safe, and it was easy to walk to almost everything that we needed at Lakeshore including groceries, coffee shops, resturants, etc. It was a bit far from the nearest BART stop but Uber worked great for us if we needed to get around. Katha's African grey parrots were also endlessly entertaining. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay Katha!
