My overall stay with Barbara was very good. The neigborhood is good, quite and 8-10 minutes walk from bart station. Bart is very convenient, fast to and from SF. The house was very good, very clean. The room was very good, clean and as described on the website. Regarding the chicken, I didn't get so much them from them and about the cats I won't tell my opinion becuase I am a cat loving person so my opinion will be biased. They were ok, friendly and didn't have troubles with that issue. Barbara is a very good host, definitely will stay with her again if I am around. she offered my coffee and breakfast daily, offered help on daily basis.we had a great convo together and definitely will keep in touch in the future.
Definitely I recommend staying with her.
