Maria greeted me with grace and enthusiasm. We got along so well, I almost forgot I was "checking in" as I felt we were practically long lost friends! I was welcomed with a bottle of wine, a little dish of olives, and various items in the refrigerator.
The great things about this apartment (other than Maria). Location: Eight minute walk down to trendy Grand Ave. and lovely Lake Merritt. It's also not far from the charming Piedmont Ave. area. Freeway access is very close as well. Ambiance: Everywhere are interesting items and photos from her world travels. Parking: There is an off-street parking space right in front of the building. This is a lovely, warm, welcoming place with a great owner. Don't hesitate to stay here if you can!
