Unfortunately I did not have a great stay at Micha's place, however, I want to highlight that the listing is located in a beautiful, convenient Oakland neighborhood and the listing has a breathtaking, spacious, tiered backyard. Micha was accommodating and responsive as a host and even allowed me and a couple of guests to use the backyard. When I first arrived, I noticed that the place smelled very musty, but thought it would go away over the course of my stay. I also noticed upon my arrival there were lots of spiders (which I didn't think anything of because Oakland was getting hotter and often spiders come into the house during this time) and cobwebs in the bedroom, living room, and bathroom corners. If you are afraid of spiders, this may not be the listing for you during the hotter months. Again, didn't really think it was a big deal but I made a mental note because it seemed like the place hadn't been cleaned thoroughly before my stay. From the first night sleeping there, I had issues with my asthma acting up and also woke up with different clustered bug bites all over my body. The asthma stayed consistent while I was in the apartment, and more bug bites were showing up in the mornings. About a week into my stay I found remnants of what appeared to be either black mold and/or bed bug feces on multiples parts of the mattress. I brought these concerns to Micha and let her know that I needed to leave the space due to health reasons, and she promptly responded saying she had brought in an expert to test for both and apparently it was neither. Coincidentally, both of the issues I was having (both the asthma and the bug bites) stopped when I left the AirBnB. Either way, whatever the black stuff on that mattress is needs to be taken care of or the mattress should be replaced. I will say that Micha was quite responsive when I alerted her of the problem, but unfortunately I could not stay there any longer due to health concerns. I will also note from a privacy/safety perspective, the main doors are completely glass, all of the window curtains are sheer white, and the bedroom is located adjacent to the entry pathway and has a motion sensor that would go off multiple times throughout the night. I am sad it didn't work out for me, but hope some of the issues are addressed for subsequent guests.
