Beautiful house with a lot of history. Gloria was warm and welcoming from the get-go; she and her housemates were very friendly. They'll take care of you! Well kept room, large with a lot of room for your clothes and luggage. Towels were provided. Two small dogs serve as gatekeepers, so it helps if you're a pet person. Neighborhood is walkable though the immediate area is hilly. Whole Foods, Lake Merritt, and several neighborhood restaurants are within walking distance. Fun place to stay with a lot of charm!
