The airbnb had sort of a frat-house feel. My activities had me out of the house other than sleeping and dressing time, so not around enough to get in anyone’s way. The main reason i would book David's house again, other than Dave's helpful presence, is the fact that most everything i needed to be flexible and mobile in the Bay area was within a short walk. Morning coffee? Yup... Peet's, a mere two blocks away. Full-service grocery and restaurants? Yup... three blocks away. Commuter Rail? Yup... BART's "Rockridge Station" not much further down the street. Between the BART and my feet, i was able to make two full days of activities in the Berkeley / Oakland / San Francisco area without a single cab or Uber fare.

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. If i ever do it again, i'll try to reserve a room in David's house, first.
