We had a very good stay in the cottage, which is more or less in the back yard of the owners. It is spacious, clean, looks nice and is very private.
The neighboorhood is also very nice, it is just a few stops with the BART to downtown and the BART station is about 10 minutes away.(it is a bit of a steep -but short - walk from the station.) There are also nice places for breakfast, coffee (and probably also dinner, but we did not try it) around the corner, which our host Carrie also pointed out to us.
