This is a fantastic, safe, quiet, and clean spot up above Lake Merritt. Minimalist in decor but maximalist in amenities, it makes a large and comfortable home base for exploration. Everything you could need has been thought of: Taylor’s of Harrogate tea sampler: check. Honey straws for the tea: check. Utensils, pots, pans, chopsticks, plates glasses: check and check and check again. Plus every way you could possibly want to plug in an electronic device. It’s like staying with a relative who knows everything you need and then doesn’t bother you. You are two blocks from the top of the Cleveland Cascade steps that go down to the lake. Head immediately downhill and you have a cafe and pizza joint. Grand Lake is about five minutes in the other direction. The hosts are super responsive and considerate. Definitely recommend.
