We had a great stay at Carrie's place. House was modern, tastefully decorated and everything was in good shape. If you love modern wall art this is you place! Lots of cool posters everywhere. Location was easily accessible from the Bart station and the Bart ride to the city was just 15 minutes.
There is sort of a hidden gem in the neighbourhood. In the New Bosworth Market grocery store there is an authentic Mexican food counter where they prepare great take away. You should try that.
