A simply wonderful accommodation that suited our every need. The description on the internet understates the urban luxury. The new, fully-stocked, modern kitchen merits special praise. And the patio bench in the sun is a lot more pleasant than portrayed for the chance it allows to interact with the friendly dogs, Jasper & Zoe, the vigilant guards against invasion by the neighbor's felines. Talking with them over morning coffee about the fresh intelligence that came in overnight was a perfect way to start the day.

The owner is helpful at every point and very tech-savvy. Proximity to the MacArthur Bart station translated into much simpler transportation logistics for the trip and Beauty's Bagels, right around the corner is now my new "secret spot" in the East Bay. In the future I will find it difficult to consider staying elsewhere when I go to the Bay Area.
