This was a great base of operations for our family. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped, the TV is huge, and there's plenty of space. As for location, it's just a stone's-throw to great hiking trails; about 15-20 minutes to Berkeley; about 20-30 minutes to San Francisco; and just 5 minutes to a Safeway, Peet's, and UPS. Jonathan and Courtney were graciously accommodating (we had to check in early; long story) and very quick in responding to our queries. We spent a week there and didn't get tired of our accommodations -- would definitely recommend it.
