Tom's place is nicely situated and well appointed.It's about a healthy 25-30 minutes walk to downtown and blocks away from delicious food. I enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again.

Major points: good communication, easy check in, friendly host, spectacular view of the bay and bay bridge; cozy living room, clean + modern kitchen, clean bathroom, plenty of towels, lots of leftover traveler toiletries, comfy bed, just open the windows for the circulation of the most soothingly cool breeze.

Minor point: As mentioned before by another reviewer, the street is noisy on Saturday nights with young revelers returning from a night on the town. It's nothing unusual if you're used to city living. Don't be deterred by that. The rest of the nights were very quiet.
