I had a couple of concerns going into it due to other reviews I had read but I had absolutely no issues and loved the 3+ weeks I spent here. Peggy was super welcoming and was always looking to help with any questions I had.

Other reviews mentioned problems with parking and the wifi. The parking was not bad at all.. and this is coming from someone who has very little experience with limited street parking. I was always able to find a spot close to the house. I would come home at different hours of the night (from 5pm to 2am) and the furthest I ever parked during my stay was only a block (2min walk) away. The wifi isn't perfect in the room because of its distance from the router but I was still able to do most of the things I usually do (emails, stream tv, browse the internet). When I asked Peggy about the sometimes inconsistent connection, she quickly provided a solution which consisted of connecting my laptop to an ethernet cable that could plug into any outlet. This provided flawless internet connection for whenever I needed it.

The area itself is beautiful and very safe which was great because there was a lot going on in the area. The popular Lake Merritt is about a 15min walk away but there were a lot more things going on even closer than that. Lakeshore Ave (~10min walk) has tons of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and stores. My favorite, though, was a farmer's market that took place every Saturday. It had endless amounts of fresh fruit, juice, and other delicious foods.

The single complaint I would have is that the room struggles to maintain heat so it can get a little chilly during the nights. Again, Peggy did the best she could by offering as many blankets as I wanted and a heater for the bathroom floor which was perfect for after showers.

Overall, I highly recommend this place. You won't find anything close to it, especially for this price in this good of an area.
