We spent two nights at Noahs garden room. Absolutely everything was as described so before you book it read instructions and you wont need to bug about anything. Very Clean and cozy place, separate from owners part of the house. We had a rental car and had no problems finding a spot even tho we came every night very late (maybe we were very lucky). We did not use public transportation but BART is only two blocks away which takes you to down town. Most likely you wont get to meet the host, unless you run into each other which i had luck to happen twice and we had nice short conversation. All in all great experience would definitely come back an stay at Noahs place. Cheers
