I’ve stayed in Albena’s apartments several times. On my most recent visit to Oakland, I stayed in the Lily Pad. Like all of the units, it’s beautifully designed and decorated; and very clean and comfortable. But, the Lily Pad might be my favorite. It’s a small unit, but it backs up to the lush, tropical, private backyard; with floor to ceiling windows, it feels a bit like being in the garden. It feels very tranquil! I loved it!
