Even if the apartment is a bit worn down and could do with some sweet TLC we had a really lovely stay in Samanthas place. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there and everything works fine. Samantha is a perfect host, so kind and accomodating. All communication was very easy. We even had a Russian River Pliny the Elder for welcoming gift when she heard we are interested in craft beer! She also had fresh bakeries for us.
The patio is a nice addition to the space and are filled with lovely plants and flowers.
The apartment feels very safe. It feels very private.
The location is very good. Very close to BART. So many good restaurants just some footsteps away. The neighborhood is vibrant and interesting. We will recommend Samanthas apartment any time.
