We had previously lived in the Bay Area ourselves and we used this stay during a quick 1 week stay to handle some local appointments. This home was beautiful and spotless. The backyard space, in particular, was really special. The neighborhood felt safe and this home is within close walking distance of several great restaurants and coffee shops. At the same time, it's also surprisingly quiet for how close it is to major activity. Some traffic noise can be heard, not unexpected in the Bay Area, but there was a small fan in the closet that created enough light white noise that it became inaudible at night. We also worked remotely from this location. The Internet was fast and reliable and there was a workspace in the back bedroom. We also used the kitchen table for a 2nd workspace. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly consider returning if and when we're back in the neighborhood.
