Kirks place is very cozy and safe. The bed and pillows were the best. I feel right asleep every night. It was definitely nice to have our own washer and dryer so we didn't have to pack so much. And the kitchen was a live saver to have breakfast and dinner at least before and after a day off running around. Right down the street there is a lake where we would walk and kayak. Some parts of the surrounding neighborhood are run down but kirk's place made us feel more comfortable since it is gated to get in and also for the garage. Perfect place to stay in the Bay area.
