Never got the chance to meet Herbert, but he seemed like a kind person through airbnb messaging. The house is absolutely beautiful, and has an amazing view from the deck. The house isn't exactly spotless, it does have some dust that can easily be cleaned. The house is located in an area where it's a 27 minute walk to the nearest Bart station, Glen Park. If you don't mind walking or paying for an uber, then it's fine. Also, we couldn't lock the door once we left the room, but we didn't have any problems with stealing. Overall, our stay was great and would stay at Herbert's home again!
