Mai's garden studio is very clean, quiet and comfortable for a short stay. Get the 14R bus into town, avoid the BART as it's quite pricey and will take you as long as the 14R. Locally, check out the Dark Horse Inn for good craft beers and fried foods. Next door is a great Philly Cheesesteak joint with craft beers and old school hip hop on the stereo. Other than that, you have to head into the city for everything else. Petrol, basic groceries, laundrettes, etc. nearby too. We stayed for a week and Mai was very helpful and kindly let us store our luggage when we went to Napa for a couple of days, plus allowed a late check-out too, which was very handy for our late departure. Thanks again Mai!
