Dealing with Anki and Jonathan was a pleasure. They were very gracious hosts. I didn't get to meet them, but I feel like I got to know them a little just by living in their home for a weekend. Pictures of their family on the wall, art work, books, and keyboards galore. These are my kinda people.

I feel like this is the perfect home for a small family. I truly want to stay here on all my future trips to the Bay.

The home is easy to find and in a relatively central location. There were stores and restaurants close by. We found a great Korean BBQ restaurant literally just a few blocks away. If you don't know what you want to do, it's not hard to find something to do around there. The instructions for the home were clear and easy to understand. When you get there, you can park in the driveway, walk up a few steps to the front door, and you're in. The living room is comfortable and easy to sit and hang out in.

The kids room has a bunk bed, and a HUGE stuffed gorilla sitting on the bottom bunk. Too cute. There are toys for the little ones to play with. And there's a little shed in the back that was converted into a little back house for that extra adult you hauled on the trip with you.

The master bedroom is very comfortable, with a sitting area, an office area and a bathroom. And obviously a comfortable queen sized bed. Big windows all around give you a view of trees and other homes in what I think is a very pretty neighborhood.

You can eat at the small table-for-four in the kitchen, or you can eat in the dining room.

It felt like a country get away in the middle of the city. Just to manage expectations, there were no TVs, but they provided a good internet connection so in today's day and age that shouldn't be a problem for most of us. There also weren't any curtains, but with all the trees and greenery around, it still felt very private.

Again, I will check to see if this home is available from now on whenever I come to the Bay Area. This is a definite thumbs up.
