Monika's place was one of the best AirBnb stays I've ever had. Her place was so cozy and homy, and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She even bought us a bottle of wine as a welcoming gift! The outside garden space is absolutely lovely, and the fire pit was a particular favorite of ours. Oakland experienced a full day black out when we were there because of a PG&E fire, and it was wonderful to know we could go back and start a fire and light candles despite the entire area being in full black out. It felt like we were camping, and it was so much fun to hear the whole neighborhood celebrating when the power came back on at 9 pm. Her place is very chic, the bed super comfy, and all of the plants made it just a great overall vibe. It was truly one of our best experiences we've ever had at an AirBnb and I highly recommend staying at her place.
