Diane's place is in a great location in the Bay Area... easy to get to San Francisco, Napa wine country, Silicon Valley and Monterey. The neighbor seemed pleasant and safe.
I've got insomnia so the room wasn't dark enough for me but Diane did provide sleeping masks.
She was flexible with me making a last minute reservation and late check in. She had a bottle of wine waiting for me. The space was quiet, I think I only heard one dog bark all night.
