Anissa's house was great for our large family gathering: 9 adults and 2 children fit comfortably and we had plenty of space to lounge, prepare food and eat. The house is bright and cheerful with plenty of outdoor space. The kitchen is well-equipped and there were even nice toys for the children. It is very close to a freeway, but noise from the road is barely noticeable. (Especially in the back of the house where you are likely to be spending most of your time outside.) Check-in and check-out was easy. The nearby Joaquin Miller Park and Reinhardt Redwoods were great spots for hiking and recreation. Grocery stores and dining were also easily accessible. What wasn't so good: The wifi went in and out, despite resetting the router. It was good enough for our purposes but I would not want to do remote work from the house unless it was improved. We also had two plumbing problems during our stay: one of the toilets wouldn't flush and a bathroom sink started to leak. I reported these problems to Anissa and she replied promptly and said she would send a plumber. However we never saw him and only after check-out did she explain that he had come while we were out. (She said he didn't want to enter the house while we weren't there, but I had specifically told her we would be gone all day and he could enter without us present.) Anyway these inconveniences did not ultimately detract very much from a lovely stay. I would give the home an A-minus and host communication/interaction a C-plus. This home was a great value and our family enjoyed our stay very much.
