Courtney is a terrific host and has packed her unit with every amenity you could possibly want. Every kitchen, bath, or bedroom item you might need has been provided. The house itself is surrounded by a fence with a locked gate and there is another secure gate before the entrance to the unit, which is re-keyed for every guest. It’s very secure. As noted by other reviewers, the neighborhood is in transition and is better reached by car than on foot, but I thought it was safe enough in the daytime with my kids. There’s a great cafe across the street for breakfast or lunch and there’s a small grocery store across the street from the BART station for other food. While I didn’t love the neighborhood, I agree that other people are just minding their own business and didn’t feel unsafe. I did not enjoy the Friday night street party, but there’s a jar of earplugs in the bedroom, so there you go. The main thing is that Courtney has made everything as nice as she can possibly make it and this unit should be a good choice for most people.
