Tori's place is really cute, and has a lot of personal touches. Tori is very responsive and easy to talk to! Her cats are adorable too. She decorated her house and the guest space beautifully and was great about making sure I always had everything I needed. The place is in a great location--the neighborhood seems really safe and family-oriented, but you're only a few blocks away from a lot of cool spots in Oakland and Berkeley, and just 6 blocks away from BART.
Only downside is that it gets pretty hot and cold in the house depending on the weather. When it's hot, note that there are no screens on the windows, so if you want to open the windows, you might get attacked by bugs. To be fair to Tori though, when I told her I was eaten alive by bugs, she offered me some natural bug spray which helped a little bit. Also, I don't think it usually gets very hot in the area so it's probably not a problem for most guests. When it's cold, it's actually quite cold. Tori has plenty of blankets available but you can't exactly drag a blanket with you to the bathroom, etc., so it's only a good solution for when you are in bed.
