We were looking for a quiet place to stay for a few weeks while I recovered from surgery, and Kyle's place was perfect! The house is located on a calm residential street, within walking distance of groceries, a pharmacy, and other conveniences, and was close enough to San Francisco to make going back and forth for doctors' appointments very manageable. Plus, Kyle is an extremely responsive and helpful host.
As suggested in the listing, we could hear the folks in the other half of the building talking during the day from time to time - if you've lived in an apartment before, you know what I mean - but the neighborhood was quiet and night-time noise was just about zero. The kitchen had everything we needed to do light cooking, there's a great organic grocery store within walking distance, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby for takeout and delivery. Having a washer and dryer was incredibly convenient.
I'll absolutely stay here again next time I find myself in the East Bay!
