The host Elsie was communicative and very friendly, while it was a bit of slog to get to, it had exceptional views of the bay as far as the eye can see, and lots of birds and wildlife.
occasionally I heard a sound upstairs akin to moving a refrigerator around and some loud stepping, but it was only a few times and before 11 pm so not overwhelming.
a bit of UC Berkeley campus noise also filters up, but seems to die down before midnight.
it’s the kind of place you want to just hang out with a nice wine and a cheese plate watching humming birds fly about.
