This place is ideal for families traveling with kids. There were toys and games for our 3 and 7 year old and also a bouncer and pack n play for our infant. It was close to shops/restaurants and the Lake for a cool morning run. Having access to laundry was ideal when you have small children and we thought the hosts were very accessible if we had questions. Parking can be a bit challenging if you are driving a large SUV or minivan since the driveway is a bit narrow. We ended up parking on the street which we knew might be the case from previous reviews. We would definitely recommend this apartment to any family visiting the Bay Area.
