We have rented a few houses in the Lakeshore area and this one is our favorite. Although it is close to a busy street, it very quiet except for an occasional creak from the apartment above. The kitchen is new and the master bath is updated . It is an elegant house with tall ceilings, large rooms and modern furniture.
Sarah was a great host, and the rental is a spacious, well-stocked, clean, comfortable flat in a convenient location. Would definitely stay there again.
This property had everything we needed. It was extremely clean and very spacious. Sarah was so accommodating. We ended up booking an additional night last minute, and she was so gracious to work with us. For anyone concerned about street noise or the upper floor tenants, its located in a metropolitan community. It's not the quiet countryside. The one review I saw was unfair. I don't think I've ever stayed in a better place. We regularly book VRBO rentals all over the country. Great food nearby and just a short drive to San Francisco.

Mixed Feelings
The property was exceptionally clean and well-stocked. It is spacious and nicely decorated.
There were two downsides to our stay. The first was the use of dryer sheets that were heavily scented. We don't use scented products in our home so this was irritating.
The second issue was the noise. That street noise was anticipated and was about what I had expected. However, the noise from the upstairs unit was excessive during the evening hours. The words to music or TV playing were discernable in our unit and the footsteps and moving of chairs were jarring. We live in a single-family home and are immune from such noise. If you are an apartment dweller, you may not be as surprised as we were.
Finally, the location initially display on the VRBO site for this property was many blocks away from its actual location.
