If I ever find myself in the Bay Area again, I would stay here 100 times over! Gary and Deb are so kind, welcoming and accommodating. The apartment has a private entrance around the back of the house, so you truly feel like it’s secluded from the house itself. The neighborhood is calm, quiet and gives you assurance of safety, compared to other places I’ve stayed in the Bay Area. Gary and Deb are very respectful to communicate when they were needing to access the unit and made sure to ask if those times/days were okay with me. With the fact that the unit shares a wall with the main house, you will hear some light sounds from time to time. Mainly just their laundry (I’m assuming was the sound I heard), chatter from them just living their best lives and noise from their garage. These were all very minor, soft sounds that never intruded my stay or effected me in anyway— most of the time, I forgot we even shared a wall at all. I was very pleased with the full kitchen! I cooked regularly and although there isn’t a ton of countertop space, I didn’t struggle at all with mean prepping. Not to mention, having a washer and dryer in the apartment was a life saver so many times!! There’s so much I could say about this place and it all comes down to this, you can’t go wrong staying here! My experience with Deb and Gary exceeded my expectations and truly gave me a feeling of home away from home!
