I stayed with Lucia for almost three months during the Winter of 2015. Her home was hands down the absolute best AirBnB apartment that I've stayed at.

- The apartment feels like a real home. There's a separate entrance from the rest of the house, a separate dining area, and the furniture is all modern and clean.

- Lucia is a wonderful host. We had coffee together several times and she couldn't be more considerate or nice. She gives you as much privacy as you want.

- The neighborhood is fantastic. It's a super quiet tree lined street, but you're only 2 blocks from a ton of restaurants on California Ave.

My only regret is I had to go back to New York and couldn't have stayed longer!
