My wife and I had a wonderful experience staying at Stephanie's house - it really felt more like a home. It had a great kitchen and fridge and stove. The washing machine and dryer were simply awesome. We liked the nice large table that can be seen in the photograph. Everything seemed right for this craftsman style house. Best of all was the firm bed - one of the best I've come across.
Stephanie gave us lots of good advice about shopping in the area (love the Berkeley Bowl!) and we found that it was a convenient place to stay if you want to be within easy reach of San Francisco but also able to take advantage of the the other side of the Bay. We discovered Grand Ave in Oakland which is just amazing. It was a perfect stay for us.
