This was our first time using Airbnb, and we couldn't have been happier. The apartment was exactly as described online and everything looked exactly like the pictures in the listing. Nikolay was there to greet us when we arrived, and he and Albena checked in throughout the week to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked. Linens were fresh, clean and plentiful. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. We did have a car for the week. But it's still very easy to get around without one. The free shuttle (Emery-go-round) has a stop at the end of the street. From there, you can easily get to just about anywhere in the area, including the BART station in Oakland. If I return to the area, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks again for a great week!
