Really lovely space and quiet since it faces the garden. Sound travels but I'm used to this since I live in an apartment. The neighborhood is great: pretty and not in the thick of the tourist areas. Good food shopping and public transportation are close.
For people not familiar with the Bay Area: just because it's California doesn't mean it doesn't get cold! Bring layers because the weather changes. I lived in the area years ago and apartments/ houses are pretty cool inside unless they are renovated for central heating.
Before I left I got an email from Airbnb recommending I buy a carbon monoxide detector but this is unnecessary since there is no gas in the building.
Roberto was very helpful and gracious with any questions I had as well; really wants one to have a nice stay at his place.
