Marlene's guest apartment was lovely! Clean, light, quiet, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Great back garden to chill in, too. And her lovely doggie Bianca often came down to say hello and have a pat. The bus is on the corner of her street, which takes you to BART (San Fran train). A good base to see San Fran, however do your research on Oakland and make sure you have a train/bus timetable and if you rely on public transport like we did, best to be home before dark in this town!

We woud definitely recommend staying here.
