Great location, really friendly hostess, and nice room. Would definitely stay here again.
Great location, bright, nicely decorated room. A bit small but a great jumping off point for a visit to Berkeley and San Fran.

Disliked: Communication
Very disappointing
The space was certainly adequate. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, even after the property owner changed the mattress. It was not a property suitable for socially distancing, private space.

We've been renting out this studio for 8 years, and it's the only complaint weve had about the bed, or about anything else.
All of the other reviews are 5 star, plus we are superhosts on airbnb.
That being said, we replaced Karen's bed immediately when she asked.
She did not complain about the new bed.
She never said a word until she left this review, so we had no knowledge of her being less than satisfied until we saw her review.
