This is a FANTASTIC place to stay! We were in town for a Cal graduation, spending a week, and needing to work half the time while there. Below are all the GREAT things about this place:
1. Super clean, well furnished, nice layout
2. The location was great...I went for a walk every single day, in a different direction, and it was lovely
3. The on-street parking was never a problem, just follow Evan's note to pay attention to the street sweeping signs (and don't block trash cans that are out for trash day)
4. Evan is gracious, friendly, responsive...a great, and thoughtful host.
5. The internet speed was better than at our own house! I set up my work station on the dining room table; my husband was either in a chair in one of the bedrooms, or on the desk in the other bedroom. We were able to be on work calls without disturbing each other
6. The beds were super comfortable, and the showers were divine
7. I would definitely choose this place again
The only thing to know about this place is that if people rent the place below (we never saw the people who rented the place below us), you will hear even quiet conversations of those people while you're in the bedroom areas of the house. That wouldn't be a problem during the day, because presumably you'd be off doing things or working on your laptop. It would only be a problem if the people decide to play loud music at 3 am, or whatever. Tell Evan right away if this happens so he can shut it down and let them know they've violated his rules. There are ear plugs and a noise-making machine in the bedroom that are available, but bring whatever else might work for you. It's a quiet, residential area so you will not be disturbed by outside noises.
