Spacious, well-maintained and private basement suite in a lovely character home. Surrounding yard and tree-lined neighborhood are quite picturesque, and located walking distance to Lake Merritt and the Grand Lake shopping/eating district. Our hosts were quick to reply to any queries, and we appreciated their relaxed check-in/check-out schedule. Sound definitely carries from upstairs home to main living area of suite (listing gives fair warning), though this didn't prove an issue. Kitchen has mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven, but no stove, which is something to keep in mind for longer stays. All in all, a nice and relaxing home base for our long weekend trip at a great value.
