Erika is an excellent host from start to finish. She is well traveled and very interesting to speak with. Communication prior and during my stay was always prompt and made things so much easier. I could completely count on her. Erika even gave me a lift when we headed into the same direction. Her house is located in a quite, safe and friendly neighborhood, which is only two small blocks away from Shattuck Avenue, where anything you need is located. The Ashby Bart station is also only a short walk away and brings you convenient to San Francisco, Downtown Oakland and Berkeley. The complete house is clean and offered everything I needed. The guestroom comes with a desk, which is quite useful, lots of space for clothes and a very comfy bed. She also provides breakfast of your choice and there was always fruit around. To sum it up, I had a wonderful time at Erika’s house and would happily come back! If you look for a place in the Bay Area, I highly recommend her place!
