This is a lovely bright apartment with long views to the bay and the mountains beyond, and a big (shared) back yard with flowering plants and trees (including a lemon tree) and a table with chairs. The bedroom has a large walk-in closet with plenty of hangers -- I stayed for 3 weeks and had lots of clothers, and the closet was a big plus. If you go out the back yard gate and turn left onto that street, it is a 2 minute walk to a magnificent nature preserve (part of the Sausal Creek system) where you feel like you are deep in the woods. The house is also very close to a beautiful historic neighborhood with lovely houses and gardens -- great walking and friendly residents though be prepared for hills at more than a 45 degree angle and even some stair cases linking one street to another. The laundry room is steps away and comes equipped with everything you need (detergent, iron, etc). Samantha was a gracious and responsive host -- checking to make sure I had various supplies without hovering or being intrusive.
