Amy and Dennis were spectacular hosts. Their airbnb is a separate building in their backyard garden underneath a tiny grove of redwood trees. It is comfortable and quiet. The loft up the ladder is comfy and the downstairs bed fine. Plenty of room to spread out and work. They have one large round table inside and second one outside. The outdoor shower refreshing. They are in a charming neighborhood, steps from Lake Merritt and businesses which include multiple cafes. They are a short distance to Trader Joes. The basketball hoop and basketball a nice touch. Their border collie frisky but fun.
The best thing about the airbnb is the hosts. They are friendly, interested, interesting and really went out of their way to help us. We took the airbnb for 5 nights. The first 4 my daughter stayed there to study for the CA bar and then to take the 2 day exam. Amy and Dennis took great care of her. They made fresh cookies and offered her some while she was studying, they helped her prepare dinner for the night before the test and they even drove her to the site for each day of the exam. They were real angels and had a very positive impact on my daughter's ability to concentrate on doing her best for the bar.
