I had a lovely short stay at Joan's charming home! She is a fantastic host-very welcoming, approachable and sweet. The house is decorated with lots of antiques and small memorabilia items- Very 'east coast' feel. The location is good- it is safe, only 20 minutes drive to San Francisco, and there is also a whole foods nearby. Joan's dog Mala is very friendly and Joan's grandson is adorable. I would love to stay again at Joan's home on my next visit to the Bay Area!
