This was my best Airbnb experience to date. Marie's house and the room are lovely, comfortable, inviting, clean and convenient to everything~public transportation, freeways, excellent restaurants, coffee, bagel and juice venues, and interesting and eclectic shops. The Temescal is a happily diverse and thriving area (close to Piedmont, Rockridge and Berkeley)! Marie is a diligent, kind and considerate host who is on top of your reasonable needs, whether it is coffee, water, recycling, or something else. Really, I can't say enough good things about a very pleasant experience. Enjoy!
