Pros:
1. Great location - very close to civic center station Bart.
2. Nice view of city skyline from the dining room window and a great backyard.
3. Host lives in the house and maintains quiet hours.
Cons:
1. Private room did not have a key ( some places offer this and others don't )
2. Bathroom is shared with 4 other guests.
3. Had a minor issue with heat but it was addressed, but the host did enter my room without permission & called me up to talk about it when I was at work.
4. I got locked out of my room ( thankfully host was there at that time ), though there is no key for the room and was told this was because the house is old.
