I had last minute travel plans and reached out to Angel and Tera and literally within minutes they responded and I was able to put my housing accommodations to ease. I was a bit nervous as this was my first time using AirBNB and all that went away when I was met by Tera upon my arrival. As soon as I got there, she was waiting with a big smile and showed me the ropes of getting into the property with the lockbox and as soon as I walked in a felt a sense of home.
Her property is a “no shoes” policy which makes a lot of sense as the world outside is GROSS! One thing I will say is that I walked around in white socks the whole time and my socks remained cleaned so that was a plus. (wipes brow.) The condo felt warm which a minimalist open concept feel. Here are a few of my favs:
Bedding: Sheets, mattress, comfort of the master room. I slept IN for the first time in weeks before my day started. There is even a Skylight in the bedroom!!!
Towels felt better than the Hilton (sorry not sorry, Hilton.)
Brightness and cleanliness of the space.
I didn’t use the kitchen at all but, it was sooo cute and updated with the finest finishing and I did take a peak at what was available if I wanted to utilize the space and it was perfect.
The shower water pressure here IS AMAZING!
The living room space was spaces and spread out, with a TV (Firestick) and they even had board and card games.
I was also able to gain access to the alarm system, which was awesome and it made me feel even safer since this was my first time using AirBNB.
I didn't have to contact them for anything as everything was readily available and explained thoroughly by Tera and there was a folder with additional information as well.
My Favorite: I asked about a place to get a massage and she directed me to Remedy Wellness Studio in Oakland ($6 Rideshare from #Cloud9on10th). I had an 120 minute session that included a massage, cupping and acupuncture. Talk about a referral!!!
The location is great. Right off 880 and was about a 10 minute (because of lights) drive to Lake Merritt and all the cute restaurants there.
This property is great for a lovers getaway, small groups, families of 5/6 (I saw an air mattress in addition to twin beds in the second bedroom.) There are two flights of stairs, 1 in the entry way and then a small as soon as you are in the condo so beware if you have bad knees. I could go on and on because I was really impressed by how the home was decorated, my host experience and the ease of maneuvering in and out. I look forward to booking here again since I will traveling here monthly.
Thanks again Tera and Angel.
