This is an excellent place to stay, especially if you want a little bit of a retreat, or a mix of city life and nature and a quieter suburban feel. Jill is a wonderful host, kind, thoughtful, and responsive. The bay views are amazing, and the outdoor areas of the property are beautiful and well kept (and smell great at this time of year). You can also go right out into a semi-private park/woods area from the backyard. The unit itself is nice too – well equipped, comfy bed, very nice bathroom, with private outdoor space. The kitchen area is serviceable for basic cooking, with a fridge, microwave, and multiple countertop burners. The only issue I can think of is that there is some noise bleed through the wall from the hosts' kitchen, so it might not feel the most private when people are in there, but that was a minor issue. You'll definitely need a car, but by car you can get to various places in Berkeley and Oakland, or even SF, pretty quickly. Highly recommended!
