Cathy is an absolutely wonderful host. Although my group did not meet her in person, she immediately replied to all of our messages and questions. The space is very clean, homey, and well decorated. The amenities were abundant and perfect. There were even house slippers and humidifiers provided for us. The location is perfect for proximity to Bart/public transit and adjacency to Berkeley and Oakland. Parking, for us at least, was difficult on the short driveway. I had an suv so the length barely fit between the garage and sidewalk, but it was just enough. Other than that, the space was absolutely perfect and worthy. Value-wise it was the best for my group of 6.
