Short version... this was a great experience with AirBnB. I highly recommend both Daniel and his place for anyone in the area on business or pleasure.

I had a chance to briefly meet Daniel, his wife, and their dog as I rolled into neighborhood. Very nice people and very welcoming! Communication was great from the start. Private access to & from the basement apartment was easy and street parking was always available.

The apartment was well furnished with comfortable bed, working area, kitchen table, couches, mini-kitchen (fridge, stove, essentials, etc.) For me, the kicker was access to a washer & dryer since my trip was an unplanned extension to my previous business trip.

Just as great, the neighborhood is surrounded by plenty to do. Tons of places to eat, drink, and kill time over the weekend. I had several great night time walks to local establishments and quick & easy drive to the chain stores, shopping, movies, etc. And both OAK and SFO are very short drives as well.

The house manual covers all of the need-to-know details... pay particular attention to the recommended food options. Some may well be "the best" that I have ever had (i.e. Trueburger).

I plan to be back as my travel in the area allows. Thanks to you both for welcoming me into your home!!!!
