As a first time purchase on Airbnb, Meirav was the perfect host to have! Not only did she respond to every message in a timely manner, she also answered every single question I had thoroughly. She gave a very detailed message about things such as how to enter the house, where to find items, etc. which made things a breeze. The location itself is outstanding! Up in the Oakland hills you get a phenomenal view, with downtown Oakland/Berkeley only a 15 minute drive and a short distance to San Francisco as well. The house itself was very spacious and fit 10 of us comfortably. I only wish I was able to stay longer!
