Regina made us feel very welcome. From the emails and texts to accommodating that we would arrive when she was not home. Loved her home, accurate from the pictures. On the 2nd floor, more secure, away from the street, there's an elevator to transport your bags. Was great having a private room, and bath, and space in the fridge. Regina slept upstairs, on a different level, most of the time it felt like our own private condo. Regina also leads an active work and social life so while we were able to connect a few times, we also felt nice solitude, yet fully supported via text/phone if we had any questions. Her cockatiel, Rocky, was a blast to talk to in the morning, his sounds were comforting, not alarming or obtrusive, and usually quiet. The neighborhood is on the outskirts of downtown, next door to the old governors mansion, other upscale condos homes, and some government buildings. Feeling gentrification still present, it felt good to be in a diverse neighborhood. The tree outside our bedroom felt good to wake-up to, as was the nice bay area breeze. We called upon parking karma to score the meter-less spots out front a few times, other times, to avoid the meters, we parked across the highway, and felt safe at all times. For those on foot, BART is just a few blocks away.
