I was in the Bay area on business and was subject to some very harsh times and decisions I had to make. Zoes place was the perfect calm in the chaos, incredibly comfortable, my home away from home. And the system she runs for entry is an adventure on its own, almost worth the money itself!!
And Zoe is the perfect host. Kind, respectful, welcoming, will lively indulge in convos but leave you alone if you are more of a loner.
If I am ever in the area again, i wont need to look further. The perfect "on the ground" experience
