This was our second stay at Dan and Deborah’s place. They are nice folks who were very accommodating by allowing us an early check-in after a horrible night elsewhere. Their basement flat is large and modernly appointed. Very comfortable. Since it is a basement unit, you will hear some footsteps above like an apartment; however, it didn’t bother us. Also the low ceilings were not a factor - I’m only 6-0” though. Both of these “features” were accurately described prior to booking. The neighborhood is very walkable and close to great restaurants on Telegraph and College avenues. There is even a Ford Go-Bike bike-share station just around the corner, which gives you another way to get around the area. The location was so convenient to freeways and BART is about a 12 minute walk. The flat is very large (1000 sq feet I’m guessing) and has a cozy modern-industrial feel to it. We really enjoyed hanging out there.
All in all, we can definitely recommend this place for a stay with nice hosts in a very convenient area with tons of cool ethnic restaurants and small pubs.
