This is such a great spot. It is a short walk to Lake Merritt and all that is around the lake--lots of restaurants and shops, a bird sanctuary and the Oakland Museum. We were visiting our daughter, who lives in the area, and we basically walked everywhere. We felt completely safe as we walked in the neighborhood.
Eva's place is great. While there were only two of us so we didn't need the extra bedroom, I loved having two bathrooms. Eva has thought through everything--anticipating what guests might need from the coffee pods (Peets, and two other coffee companies), to the water bottles and snacks set out, to extra toothbrushes. She would make a great teacher because she makes everything so clear in her communications, from, for example, how to check in and out. She provides a binder with not only various instructions for how to navigate the space but also tips on places and restaurants to visit. There are also various guides for things to do in the Bay Area. Her communication with us was pleasant and professional. She really has figured out how to make guests comfortable and happy. I'm sure we will be back!
