Jon was the perfect host, keen to do everything he could to make me feel at home and insistent that I use the house as my own. The bed and room were comfortable with plenty of storage space, and all required amenities were provided. The location is excellent, close to downtown Berkeley and a short walk to the BART station and major bus routes. Whilst Jon is a friendly and engaging host, keen to get to know his guests, he isn't overbearing and allowed me to get on with my own plans and gave me my personal space. He knows the area well and provides very useful local advice. I would highly recommend staying with Jon to anyone who visits Berkeley, Oakland, or the Bay Area.
