LAKE MERRITT 4 BED 4 BATH

8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (1)
"The host is very friendly and accessible. The location is great. Nice neighborhood. Conveniently close to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, a theater and nice weekend farmers market.

"We often stay at the Shattuck Plaza and we like the architecture and history. The room was very hot this time due to the weather outside and the air conditioning units in both sections of the suite did not work. The maintenance crew decided the units were dead. Our options were to move into a smaller room and stick it out with fans, but we ended up with an uncomfortable stay."
