I had a great stay with Paula! She was a very attentive host, checked in on me and responded to messages in a timely manner. She was very welcoming but also just allowed me to have my personal space. The apartment is very cute with great energy and the room very cozy, bed was comfortable. The area is safe and convenient, Lake Merritt is a couple blocks away where I enjoyed a nice morning run and BART was also near by. I felt safe walking home at night time. I highly recommend staying with Paula!
