Spacious & uncluttered -- yet still homey & warm. We loved Gabe's place. It has comfortable beds (queen & king), big kitchen, large main bathroom & ok second bath, nice long dining table with seating for 8-10, and plenty of extra blankets & pillows & linens for whatever you might need them for. We love the Grand Ave neighborhood, which is also walkable to Lake Merritt, Piedmont Ave & Lakeshore Ave.
The cons:
(1) Driveway is steep & narrow with a tight turnaround at the top. If you want off-street parking I wouldn't recommend bringing an SUV or large pickup.
(2) House is heated by a boiler, which was noisy as the hot water raced through the pipes. Woke me up several times -- but not my husband or son.
(3) Internet is spotty. At times we were not able to watch tv -- which was sad (college football!), or do work -- which was problematic.
Pros outweigh cons & we'd definitely stay chez Gabe again.
