Shimmy's place was exactly as shown in the pictures. Exceptionally clean. It is in a very walkable part of town, and its a short distance to many bars, restaurants, Lake Merritt, and more. No central air in the building so the apartment was warm at times, because August. But we found that if you keep the provided fans running + close the blinds during the day, the apartment cools down pretty quickly. Shimmy is also a great communicator. She was eager to recommend local hotspots and was also able to accommodate some last minute needs that we had. We would book here again without question. Go ahead and do the same!
