Nice place in a quiet neighborhood with a great location and very good access to public transportation. John was very friendly and proactive in communicating and was willing to be flexible with check-in in case my train was delayed. The room was spacious and bright and the bed was comfortable. I saw two of the dogs and they were very calm and won’t bother you if you don’t want to interact with them.
The neighborhood felt safe and it is very walkable or bikeable. Also, a bus stop for the transbay F Bus is right around the corner which can get you to the UC Berkeley campus or San Fransisco quickly and easily. An F Bus stop is also pretty close to the Emeryville Amtrak Station but John may offer to pick you up like he did for me (which was very nice of him). Also, the Ashby BART station is not too far of a walk.
Overall, great stay.
