A terrific combination of 1) super convenient access by BART or car to East Bay and the city, just 25 minutes door to door driving (mainly off commuting hours) for everything I had to do in the area and a quick walk to BART--very easy on/off freeway 2) peace and quiet with lovely garden and cozy private space 3) responsive gracious host 4) excellent parking 5) very nice neighborhood to explore, stretch your legs, eat, shop etc. 6) all the amenities I needed: kitchen basics, coffee & tea, full washer & dryer, wifi, lovely art & books making the whole space colorful and welcoming. A great place in a great location!
