Meirav's place is located in a beautiful area of Oakland. The house has a large open floor plan with great views. Likely because the owner did not want to obscure the views, many of the windows lack blinds that would be nice to provide privacy, particularly on the tub deck to ceiling bathroom windows facing the neighbor's outdoor deck. The lower floor bedroom/office would also benefit from blinds on the doors. Because of the open floor plan, in the Winter, the lower floor remains cold even when the upper floor is quite warm.
