Dave’s place is sparkling clean and the interior is nice and updated. Everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. We prepared meals, had coffee, enjoyed wine under the fruit trees in the yard and slept very soundly. We were within an hour drive from the coast, vineyards, parks and everywhere we planned to visit. We were able to shop for groceries and get good takeout from the San Leandro area a few minutes up the road. Check-in was seamless, Dave was responsive and we thought his place was an excellent value. To address what other reviewers described as “sketch” we personally are not from the area but could see coming from the interstate there was industrial area and homelessness - not any perceived threat to our safety. Dave’s immediate area appeared to be households and families and we felt perfectly safe and sound. The nearby BART and weekday daytime industrial sounds were not an issue for us as he provided a couple of fans and the white noise blocked any noise that otherwise could’ve been heard. In short, if the misfortune of others is an inconvenience to your eyes, perhaps the Ritz is more your speed? ;)
Thanks again to Dave for the hospitality!
