Sandy was a great host. She was very responsive, gave me good tips for restaurants in the area, and coordinated with me for an early check-in. The place was beautifully decorated and there were nice personal touches around the room that were sweet. I was relying on public transportation and was able to walk to and from the BART station which was about 15 minutes away. As noted in the description, there is no kitchen or coffee maker in the room, but luckily there was a nice coffee shop a couple of blocks away that opened pretty early for those of us who like coffee first thing in the morning.
