Nora's place is a great place to stay a providing cost effective location close to San Francisco. The BART at nearby Fruitvale provides a good means of getting into the city and avoiding the traffic queues at the bridges. Nora is a great host and was able to offer us an early check in as there was nobody renting the day before our stay. We were very grateful for this as it allowed us to get over to the city for our evening visit to Alcatraz the same day. Thanks Nora!
