My family was up in the Bay Area for my niece's graduation from CAL. Jake's place was affordable in comparison to homes around CAL and the short UBER/Lyft ride to the McCarthur BART station made getting around easy. If you won't have a car grocery shopping can be a challenge but you can totally Lyft or have groceries delivered. The space was ample for the six of us and the space was very comfortable. We enjoyed using the kitchen, smart tv/Apple TV and the on demand hot water was great for busy mornings when six adults were trying to get out the door.
