The Host: Mike was a wonderful host. We got to meet both him and his daughter and they are both lovely people. Mike was extremely responsive and accommodating. Any issues we had he solved right away. We couldn't have asked for a better host.
The Place: The studio was cosy and perfectly located by Lake Merritt. Very easy access to the highway, which was key for us. We were happily surprised to realize that we couldn't hear the noise from the highway inside the unit, despite how close it was to the freeway. Free street parking was also a huge plus.
The Neighbourhood: We found the neighbourhood safe and friendly. We went for a run every morning at 5 am around the lake and enjoyed the cafes and workout studios only a few blocks away. There was a laundromat not far from the studio, where we were able to do laundry at reasonable prices. There was also a Whole Foods Market not far away and a Trader Joes right across the street (3 min walk).
Summary: Overall, we were very happy with our stay and hope you will enjoy it too.
