About the host
Hosted by Jintang Zhang
I’m semi-retired and enjoy a lifestyle that balances relaxation with discovery. Traveling has always been one of my passions — I love learning about different cultures, meeting people, and tasting local cuisines wherever I go. Here in the Bay Area, I especially value the cultural diversity, vibrant food scene, and welcoming community.
Why they chose this property
I really like the Piedmont and Lake Merritt neighborhoods because they have everything close by — great food spots, a lively farmers’ market, and even a classic movie theater. Piedmont is quiet and family-friendly, while Lake Merritt has a fun, energetic vibe with beautiful lake views. On weekends, I love walking by the lake, grabbing brunch nearby, or visiting the Grand Lake Farmers’ Market and catching a movie at the Grand Lake Theatre. It’s such a nice mix of calm and convenience.
What makes this property unique
The property has a great location and a cozy living feel. It’s equipped with a modern heating and cooling, a new kitchen and bathroom, and in-unit laundry. You’ll have everything you need in a comfortable, convenient setting.
