We stayed a week in Germaine’s apartment and it was a very comfortable stay. Her apartment is as it looks in the pictures but the views are even better! Lots of thoughtful touches like breakfast and snacks. Very responsive host from the time of booking which set my mind at ease as I was travelling internationally. The only caveat is that the app based washer/dryer in the basement only works with US based accounts but there is a laundromat nearby. Close to the bart, so we had no problems with commuting. If like us, you dislike staying in downtowns because of the noise, lights and grit on streets, and prefer living in suburbs in stylish apartments with lots of extras, we highly recommend Germaine’s apartment.
