Suellen and David were very welcoming from the beginning of my stay, giving me tips not only locally, but also for trips outside the Bay area. They opened up their home to me and made sure I was comfortable at all times. If I needed a bike lock, they loaned me one. If I needed to order food, they knew a good place. If I wanted arugula, I could gather a bunch from the garden. A huge perk was their garden and hens, which made for a great breakfast of fresh eggs and greens. Both Suellen and David were gregarious, and we had some great talks about travel, but also was respectful of my alone time. I felt completely at ease within hours of my arrival, after seeing the hosts' interacting with the neighbors. Will be happily recommending to others.
