Stephanie's house is lovely! (And so is Stephanie)

I'm also sensitive to perfumes, so really appreciated the fresh, natural feel of the house (and the gorgeous renovation work she's doing). The nice big living room inspired me to keep up my yoga, and the table was great for the work I'd brought with me.

The walk to the Ashby BART was easy - a 20 minute stroll up Market and Adeline, with no worries. Checking the BART app showed me that there was time for a quick coffee at the cafe across the street. Coming back tired, late in the evening, I hopped on an UberX from the station. The car arrived in under 3 minutes.

It's also really easy to get to the restaurants on Shattuck, one BART stop away in Downtown Berkeley. If you're a foodie, you can visit Chez Panisse
