Jon was very welcoming and approachable. He's makes you feel at home. He's a great conversant and very respectful. I greatly appreciated that he is so caring: He made sure that my room would be warm when coming back around midnight from dancing. He provided me extra covers and allowed me to have a hot shower (towels provided) and make hot water for my water bottle after dancing. Danke. That's cool.
The room had everything I needed and was quiet. The cat, Dijon, is older, but well raised and didn't wake me up with meows in the morning which cats often do. The location is excellent - within walking minutes to Berkeley Bowl or get a bicylce ride to downtown Berkeley. I am very cognizant about my personal standard of cleanliness and orderliness since I have been traveling a lot around the world and lived with other people in different countries: My standard is above average: I really like it really clean and orderly. Jon's place is ok in these regards, but for my personal taste it could be improved a little bit. Overall, thank you so much Jon!
