Jon is a kind host with a comfortable and clean home with an abundance of natural light during the day. He sent me a text to check on me when I was late arriving, and waited in his yard so that I could more easily find his house.
Jon's house is an easy 10 minute walk from the Ashby BART stop, and a pleasant walk into downtown Berkeley. There is a neighborhood farmers market nearby, as well as several good grocery stores.
The kitty cat was also quite welcoming, purring easily when given attention, but spent most of his time outdoors.
