I stayed with Linda and Joe for two months while working at Berkeley and I loved it. They were very accommodating and kind. The apartment has an electronic access code and it was very safe, the neighborhood is the best, restaurants, coffee, groceries, multiple direct bus routes to Berkeley, and a short ten minute walk to subway/BART station. The bed was great and all of the linens and towels were wonderful. The kitchen had all of the cooking basics I needed (pots, pans, utensils, condiments, coffee maker) and the apartment had plenty of light if you opened the blinds. The closet had a ton of hanging space and bureau space. There is a small storage closet for your suitcases. The bathroom was my favorite as the shower was very new, came fully stocked with toiletries as well. There was a hanging device in the backyard that I was able to use to hang my laundry and you have 24 hour access to the washer and dryer. The internet at times was slow but it was minor. Overall, I was very grateful for my stay at joe and linda's, it was very productive for my work, quiet, in a beautiful neighborhood, and extremely convenient.
