I stayed here for over a week, and this was one of the most relaxed living experiences I've had outside of home. I had enough access to their kitchen so I could have coffee and breakfast every morning, and the combination lock to the front door made me never have to worry about losing my keys. The room was clean and comfortable, and most of all, private and not intrusive. The room was located a half a block from a great coffee shop and a 24-hour diner, and is less than half a mile from two grocery stories, one in Alameda, and a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest BART station. In short, the next time I visit the Bay Area, this will be the first place I will try to get.
