Amy's basement apartment fit the bill for our holiday visit. Amy wasn't home when we checked in, but her dog Luka welcomed us warmly, and it was easy to get settled in. The convenient location near BART and Zipcars made it very easy for us to get there from/to the airport, and around to our various family gatherings. Even though the house is close to the highway, trains and a high-traffic shopping district, the environment was pretty quiet, and I had no problems concentrating or sleeping. It was great to have a private entrance, so we could come and go and not disturb the rest of the house.

The bed (made up as one large bed) was very comfortable. The wi-fi was very reliable, which was important for both my husband and I, as we work remotely... which also made the desk/table with two chairs a plus! There isn't a lot of natural light, but that was expected, given that we were in the basement. No problem though... when we needed to see the sky, we just took a walk to one of the many cafes or restaurants. The neighborhood feels very safe to walk around in.

We very much appreciated the flexible check-out time, as we had a late flight out. Thanks again, Amy!
