John is a lovely and accommodating host. The room is spare in a thoughtful way and though the house is small, I was quite comfortable. The pets are sweet and he keeps them clear of the room.
Somehow, when booking, I got the idea a garden was involved, which at the time of this writing is not true.
However, the very reasonable cost, combined with the ease of travel to Berkeley Emeryville and Oakland and the fact that I was able to easily find parking makes this a classic reason Air BandB has become a thing.
