Ariel's house was amazing -even better than it looked in the pictures. It's beautifully decorated and has everything you could need. The garden was beautiful and the kids loved feeding the chickens - which even laid us three eggs while we were there. Ariel's kids are the same ages as ours, so we had a fully kitted out kids room with more toys than they'd ever seen.
Ariel was extremely helpful - and would always respond to emails within a few minutes.
Rockridge is the perfect place to stay to explore the hills and San Francisco. It's a beautiful, quiet, safe neighbourhood - and Ariel's house is 10 mins walk to the Bart. There are loads of great shops and restaurants within walking distance. There's even 2 independent bookshops in Rockridge.
A week in Ariel's house left me daydreaming about how nice it would be to live in Rockridge all the time. If you get the chance to book this place - don't hesitate.
