This is a great place to stay for short or longer stays! Great value, especially for having both full kitchen and separate bedroom. Sheets are comfy. Easy to walk down to Grand Ave and Lake Merrit, but it is on a hill so you should like to walk hills if you do not have a vehicle or ride"share" everywhere. Also, ceilings are low on this bottom floor of the house, so probably not the best if you are over 6' tall. LaurieAnn is friendly and easy to communicate with and she even gave me some carnivorous plant starts.
