Zev is a thoughtful and friendly host with a beautiful home and sweet backyard. It's super-close to BART, making it faster to take transit into the city than to drive. The natural food store just down the street is fantastic. Zev always responded quickly and thoroughly to any questions, and his kitchen is outfitted well for cooking all kinds of things, from simple stir frys to making cheese. A great mix of privacy and good conversations, too.
