J was a superb host and went out of his way to accommodate our every need. The room was clean and comfy and is simply that, a nice room to sleep and shower in. It had not occurred to me when booking the room that we would like a coffee maker and maybe an area where we could eat a meal, but I will remember this for our next Airbnb reservation. Thank goodness for the bikes that he offered; we tried to venture into the bay area on foot and found it too exhausting so we were grateful to have bicycles to travel around on. Lake Merritt is a beautiful spot with interesting neighborhoods to explore. A great value for bay area travel!
