Mitch was a fantastic host and his house is lovely. We stayed for my daughter's graduation from UC Berkeley and, at first, I was nervous that it might be too far away. It was an 8-min drive on average to my daughter's house and worth it for the spectacular views of the Bay and SF, as well as the cozy, tasteful decor and amenities. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe and a short drive/walk to College Ave, which has many shops and restaurants (we loved Crepevine, in particular, which is a 5-min walk). Mitch was a great communicator and responded to everything quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended!
