I stayed in the mansion for about two months after moving out to the bay. It was a great way to meet new people quickly that helped get me acclimated to the area. The house is beautiful and it often felt quiet most of the time despite the number of guest staying there. However I would recommend a white noise machine or loud fan if you don’t sleep easily because this room is located between the main stairwell & a bathroom which not produce a lot of traffic and noise. The house is cleaned weekly but the true cleanliness definitely depends on others staying in the home as well. I found the kitchen was often fairly messy as others didn’t clean up after they cooked a meal. Of course that’s the risk you take when deciding to live in a communal home with people you don’t know. EJ and Michael were very helpful with any question or request that I had and responded very quickly. I would recommend this specific room to someone traveling alone, it is very small and would be difficult for a couple or two guests to share. However there are other rooms in the house that are much bigger. My favorite part of the house by far were all the outdoor seating areas in the garden. They were perfect for eating breakfast, reading a book or just hanging out. I felt very safe in the neighborhood although it is a bit far from downtown so if you like to be able to walk to shops/restaurants easily, this may not be the spot. However Xochi the Dog Cafe is right down the street and has great coffee, sandwiches and places to sit and hang out.
