Good little spot, esp. for solo travelers.
-The decor has thoughtful and unique touches. It doesn't feel generic/cliche like many other pads on this platform.
-It's walkable to numerous different shopping/entertainment districts: Temescal (hipster/trendy), Rockridge (So. Berkeley), and Piedmont (quieter, nice shops). Additional amenities on Broadway within a couple of blocks.
-Transit: BART (subway) stops in Temescal and Rockridge about 15-minute walk, plus bus lines 1/2 block away on Broadway.
-Host was extremely responsive and made some generous, special accommodations for me.
