Brian communicated often and effectively. No issue with check in. The house had a communal feel since we used the kitchen. Other tenants were friendly. We felt safe at all times. The deck outside the tiny house is a great spot for having take out and cocktails. The BART at Merritt Lake is a little closer than the ferry, but both only a few minutes away. Easy walk to Lake Merritt as well. Small store, liquor store and Mexican place at the end of the street.
