I had a short 1 night stay at Paula's place. The location is very convenient and it is close to two bart stations (12th st and lake merritt). Getting from the airport will not be difficult if you don't have too much luggage. There are stairs to be mindful of, since she lives on a top floor unit.
The room was comfortable and located in its own nook of the apartment. This gave privacy, and I did not need to interact much with Paula. I'm sure the bed sheets were sanitized/clean, but i had a weird sensitivity reaction to the material in them. If you have sensitive skin, this is something to be mindful of. There were not too many outlets, but Paula provided an extension cable. It was fine for me, but it might not work with someone who has a lot of devices. There was also a weird squeaky noise around 5:30am. It may have been water pipes from the apartment below, since it is an older building. Not sure.
Bathroom was quirky with very cute decoration. Paula provides instructions on how to use the shower faucets with a visual diagram. It took me a few minutes to understand, so it might be good to get verbal clarification if confused. The shower water gets very hot too, so be very careful.
Overall Paula was welcoming, and this was the perfect place for a short quick stay at an affordable price point and central location.
