The physical space was great. There is a large living room, bedroom, and basically your own private bath. This was super helpful for us because we were traveling with a toddler. Also, Ruth agreed to host us with a toddler, even though she hadn't thought of her place as being particularly kid-friendly. Since we had a young kid, we weren't as social as we might have been otherwise, so we didn't spend a ton of time connecting with Ruth. She is very friendly and easy to be around. The neighborhood is a short $10 Uber ride from MacArthur BART. So public transit was OK when needed. There is also a housekeeper that comes through and cleans once a week.
