This place is ideally located within walking distance to a Trader Joe's, lake Merritt, and a variety of restaurants and cafes. The house was spacious and had lots of naturally lighting. The outdoor area is charming with flowers and a lemon tree. However, the space is not well thought out. The outdoor area did not have any clean seating to enjoy. The indoor space was also dirty when we arrived (kitchen ware was greasy and needed to be washed, dust and grime on the floor, etc.) and there were no cleaning supplies available. The furniture is okay but fairly cheap (unstable dresser, old couch, hard chairs, etc.). The WIFI was occasionally strong but very intermittent which made working from home challenging. Overall a good stay but mostly due to the location. Communication with host was also limited. I asked a single question about the area and did not get a response but checkin was very simple and smooth.
