Marlene's place fitted our needs perfectly! The apartment is very clean and so livable. Excellent use of space and decor. My wife and I were saying how we could totally live here. We would like to transplant her apartment to some island and live the rest of our lives in peace. This is exactly how we felt about her place... in peace. The location is perfect, right off the highway, easy access, and feel very secure. She has coffee and tea in the cupboards, sugar, plates and bowls and utensils. A nice size fridge. It's very cute apartment! We would've have liked to have stayed longer and actually spent some time with her and talked, she seemed very cool. There was a peaceful garden, that I'm sure comes alive when in season. We had a very short stay actually, only two nights we ended up taken the red-eye back home early. But the apartment is perfect, clean, comfortable, and felt very secure. She mentioned she was having a photo shoot of her Buddhas in the garden the day we arrived. I felt soo bad because I was working on no sleep and wasted saturday and slept from about 230pm till 5am the next morning! Her airbed was very comfortable! But, I wanted to wake up and check out her photo shoot. Overall, it's a really nice place to stay if you don't mind driving to Oakland. It was our first time to the SFO area and the apartment is in a nice neighborhood. It only took us 15 mins to get from Fishermans Warf to the apartment, never had one issue with traffic, so easy to get around.
