El Nido is one of my favorite Airbnb's I've ever stayed in. The place is very stylish and clean. Having an outdoor area to relax was a bonus. Street parking can be difficult, but it's nice that the hosts provide a spot. El Nido is in the attic of a larger house which seems to have long term renters (at least in two different units). So that means that you will have neighbors and people coming and going on the property. You are close to Lake Merritt Lakeshore, and Grand Ave with lots of shops, restaurants, etc. It was helpful to have a car but ride sharing apps are always a good option.
