We spent four months at Judy's house and we had a wonderful time. The house is big, quiet and full of light. It's a place you love to stay in. Judy is an amazing host. She lets you stay on your own, if you want, or you can have brilliant conversations with her, about art and science and travels for example. You can also ask her what ever you need; you can be sure she will do her best to solve your problem. She helped us when we needed to find a doctor, for example, or had to print something. The neighborhood is also very good. You can walk to Piedmont Avenue and have a good time there, with shops and places to have good food. There are stores and groceries, if you use to cook on your own. Another shopping area is College Avenue, also good for a walk. MacArthur BART station is at about fifteen minutes, and there are some bus stops, so you can do all you need and go basically everywhere without renting a car. San Francisco is about twenty minutes, downtown Oakland and Berkeley even less. We avoided to be at MacArthur Bart at night but we really had no problem about that and we never felt unsafe. You can also rent bycicles at Judy's; they can be very useful sometimes, to go through parks for example. We would recommend Judy's house to family and friends; we would definitely go back there, if we need.
