Stayed at Sudha's for some time. Great location; close to shops, restaurants, bart (efficient transit system in the bay). I didn't use bart much, but it is convenient. Lots of parking if you drive like me. Close to the Coliseum and stadium if you're interested in sports. Lovely spacious and unique space. Comfy, artsy, and bright just like Sudha described.
Sudha is always very considerate and accommodating. She's friendly and gives you your space, but she's nice and easy to get along with if you want to chat.
Sudha is on the 3rd floor and the 1st floor is where I reside. I barely hear her and she rarely knows I'm home. However the walls and floors are thin and the bedwhere I sleep is aligned with the stairs next door. Kind of sounds like someone is moving or building something. Same if Sudha is up and about, but that's hardly an issue. I have had some sleepless days (since I work nights) or awakened early on my off days. If you sleep at night and get up early every day this shouldn't be an issue.
