Nice place - perfect for a solo person for work. It's the back of a house, so you can hear a some things - people moving around mostly. Made me a little self-conscious about using the TV or playing music because of how much I could hear - didn't want to be disturbing the folks on the other side of the wall. The deck is great. Huge, lots of seating (although it was just me). It's a tight space, typical of Bay Area, but they do a great job of using the space they have.
