This is truly a great place at a great location! Every year my parents visit from Norway, but this time they could not stay in my condo, so as a seasoned AirBnB user, I spent some time looking for the ideal condo for them during their stay in Oakland. I found Shimrit's place and it fit with everything they wanted for their stay (proximity to Lake Merritt, separate bedroom, bathroom and kitchen). I wanted to know that I could communicate with Shimrit on behalf of my parents if there should be anything, and Shimrit's place met all our expectations and then some. We had a blast, and Shimrit was the ideal host! My parents loved the fact that they were right next to Wholefoods and right next to the lake. My communications with Shimrit went smoothly so I have only great thins to say about her and the place. Thank you again for hosting my parents!
