We had a great time at Todd and Tatyana's. We chose this option over a hotel for our stay. Here is our breakdown:
Cleanliness - the studio was very clean and well maintained.
Beds - We were four people, needing three beds. We used the blow-up bed along with the two main beds. Hotels rarely offer more than two queen size beds. It's nice how the second bed is removed from the main area. One note on the beds: They are more of a futon-style mattress - firm but comfortable. The beds might not be for everyone. I personally prefer the bedding we get at a hotel like Hyatt, but these were just fine.
Value - With this studio, we paid for one room instead of two and didn't have to pay for parking.
Location - Most hotels we researched were concentrated in the downtown and tourist areas of the city. We had a car and were touring the Bay Area in general. Access in and out of this location was easy and convenient. Parking was relatively easy in the neighborhood. The neighborhood itself was clean and felt perfectly safe. There is a supermarket and pharmacy right down the street.
Thanks again, we had a great time!
