I loved staying at Gloria's home! It was exactly as described with the well-maintained old architecture throughout. It was within a short walking distance to a bus that took me directly to the bart.
Everyone in her family was very sweet and gave me the privacy I needed.
And the dogs didn't bother me at all! On the last day, the "meanest" one curled up at my feet while I was waiting for Uber. I didn't touch him per Gloria's instructions, but he looked so sweet!
