Chris and JoAnn's place is much larger than I expected. It has plenty of room for a family or group to maneuver as long as you don't mind sharing the bathroom. It also has a complete kitchen in case you want to cook which you never have to do, because there are many restaurants within easy walking distance. There is a full-size washer and drier which would be helpful for longer stays.
It is right on Claremont Avenue. I was concerned that it might be a bit noisy, but it was not at all. Anything you might need--restaurants, grocery store, shops and BART are just a few minutes walk.
Chris was so kind and showed me around the apartment when I got there. He is a lovely host.
