I stayed Aaron & Shanthi’s apartment for about 20 days, and it was really, really great experience. Luckily I could buy this place with discount price. So first time when I saw the room, I felt it was a bargain! Room itself is stylish and very clean, but also there were fresh flower bouquets on the kitchen counter and bedroom dresser, as well as tiny greens in the living room. I was so impressed with this welcoming atmosphere.
This apartment is large, all appliances are new and smart (just refrigerator was a bit noisy at night), nice private bedroom has decent sized bathroom. I could enjoy hot bath every night to soak & meditate before going to bed.
Neighborhood walk was fun, I often took Stanford toward Emeryville sta., saw many studios/local cafes/gardens and tiny trails. It is very convenient area to live, just we need to be careful when we go toward San Pablo Ave whenever the time we walk.
In the apartment, I could enjoy my voice practice everyday (acoustic is very good), yoga, watching Netflix and cooking as well. There were some minor issue like bugs on plants or dripping from sealing fun, but it’s easily fixable stuff. Every time when I have something to ask, Aaron comes to check immediately, and fixes everything. Both Aaron & Shanthi are great hosts, I honestly appreciate their hospitality. Hope I can come back to this place again soon!
