My partner and I stayed with Allison and her family for our first month here as new transplants from the east coast in the Bay Area. We used their lovely home as our temporary home we continued our housing search and started our new jobs. Both Allison and her partner, Amy, were super helpful with explaining public transit, the character of different neighborhoods and attractions (pro-tips on local theatre!). There was also lots of excellent conversation over coffee and snacks whenever we crossed paths in the mornings and evenings. Transit was simple and accessible to the city and other parts of the bay area from the house. The pets are all very cute and a couple of them love to snuggle once they get to know you a bit. We loved it!
