Shimrit's apartment is adorable and close to everything you need! We walked to coffee, restaurants, and Lake Merritt. We used this as a jumping off point for hikes around the Bay Area, a day in Sonoma, and good eats on both sides of the Bay. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and as represented. Shimrit called me ahead of time to make sure we had what we needed to get checked in. She was out of town while we were there, so she also made sure we had a local number to call if something came up (nothing did). Also, we had our toddler with us and found the apartment easy to manage from that perspective. We would definitely recommend this place.
