Of all the places we've stayed over many family vacations through the years, Chris and Lea's home was without question the most pleasant and hospitable experience we've ever had. Their home is beautiful and clean with incredible service and generosity. I booked their downstairs suite for my family, coming in all the way from Japan to visit for my graduation and even though we checked in later then we had said, they greeted with a proud and friendly welcome. Several times we awoke in the morning to an offer of breakfast (which was always delicious!) and our suite was regularly cleaned and stocked with bottled water, fruit and snacks, which is an incredibly convenient amenity if taking family touring around the bay area. They are a very personable family to talk to and their neighborhood in Oakland Hills is quiet and beautiful. Its a good 20 minutes driving distance away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, so its probably best to have a rental car and a GPS access since their home can be a bit tricky to find at first. The stay though is well worth the travel cost, their rate is exceptionally affordable and I can promise you will rest well here and feel taken care of for the entirety of your stay :)
