An amazing place to stay. The location is perfect: Its close to Lake Merritt which is an great place to take a walk, close to the Bart, allowing easy access to SF and San Jose, and its in a good, safe location. Surrounding to house there's a beautiful garden to sit in and enjoy. The kitchen is fully furnished with all sorts of neat toys, anything you would need to cook anything. Ms. Lauren, The host, was kind and welcoming, She provided me with everything that I could have wanted. I hope I have the opportunity to stay there again!!
