Nate's room is very spacious and conveniently located in a very nice neighbourhood. It has a private bathroom, which is always a plus.
We didn't get to meet Nate, but weeks before we arrived, we exchanged several messages and he was always ready to help and to give the best tips for our California trip.
We met one of his housemates, who was also very nice and helpful and even let us use the washing machine one night.
The only downside was that the bedroom and the bathroom were not very clean. I'm sure that, had Nate been there, this would not have happened.
Tip: park your car on 8th street (but not on Wednesday mornings!).
