David was a great host and was very responsive whenever needed. The apartment is fantastic and far exceeded my expectations as it was super clean, comfortable, large and, best of all, cozy. Whole Foods, public transport as well as many nice restaurants and other amenities are within walking distance as well as cool Lake Merritt. As an added bonus there was dedicated parking space so I did not have to stress over parking. And it does not hurt that the nightly rate is very reasonable :-) Overall, I highly recommend this apartment as a great option over a hotel room rental and I would not hesitate to rent the apartment again.
