David's place was fantastic. It was exactly as described or maybe even better. It was incredibly clean and we felt very at home and comfortable. The space was large, the beds were comfortable and even the balcony was sparkling clean. You can tell it has been meticulously cared for. The artwork, furnishing and decor was all clean, new-looking, unique and interesting. The washer and dryer were new, very clean and high quality and we really appreciated being able to do laundry. It was great to have three bedrooms (especially for the price) and two bathrooms. Plus, we had access to two off-street parking spots while there which was a big plus. When we had questions during our stay, the host was very quick to respond. He even coordinated with me to help return an item I accidentally left behind. The location is amazing - walking distance to Whole Foods plus many other shops and restaurants, not to mention Lake Merritt!
There is currently construction going on around the building (which is stated in the listing's description so no surprise there), which comes with the usual and expected noise, etc. The owner was very accommodating about the construction and even the construction workers were very friendly and helpful (i.e. they quickly moved equipment when it was briefly blocking the parking lot driveway). The loft is pretty well soundproofed, especially in the bedrooms with the windows closed and we got great sleep even with the typical city noises. My son was even able to nap just fine during the day with no issues or interruptions.
The wifi was fast and I was able to work while staying here. However, it's a bit weaker in the back bedroom so I recommend setting up your workspace in one of the front bedrooms or in the living room/dining room if you're planning on working while here.
I highly recommend this place. We would absolutely stay here again, and hope to soon!
