Joyce has created a very nice space for the budget conscious traveler. The location is superb with easy access by public transportation into San Francisco and around Oakland and the East Bay. The local area is much more easily accessed by car and street parking is just fine so long as you pay attention to the parking signs for street cleaning. Unfortunately, the neighborhood is not the best but Joyce discloses much of this information and tips up front. The room itself is clean and comfortable with several amenities often not provided or found in other comparable or "better" Airbnbs. The internet was not available during most of my stay which was a slight challenge for doing anything in the room that relied on having reliable WiFi. This was a late planned booking and I was grateful to have found it. The place works very well for a short stay of one or a few nites. Overall Joyce was very accommodating and responsive. I can appreciate who she is and the hard work shows in a willingness to host, making available to Airbnb'rs and travelers alike a clean and ultra-affordable place to stay!
