this was not the best, but not the worst.
PROS - pretty cool location. really easy access to the muni and bart. awesome co-op 2 minutes away. all the amenities (washer, dryer, etc.) were very nice. the room itself was spacious, well furnished and fairly comfortable. susan (jason's mom) was very sweet, and the snacks she made available in the kitchen were awesome.

CONS - alternating overwhelming smell of febreze or cat pee (but no cats in the apartment?). four bedrooms (during our stay - 7 adults) all using only one bathroom. showering in a timely fashion in the morning was tricky. possibly our bedroom only - windows open directly onto a lumber yard. so it is VERY LOUD mon-fri starting at 6:30am. earplugs highly recommended. sheer curtains on windows... no privacy.

as things stand, i wouldn't stay here again. but if most of these problems were fixed, i would absolutely go back. the location is great. but the conditions made it a place we lamented coming back to. in the rain when we couldn't open the windows, and the smell was headache inducing.

jason was really easy to get in touch with and was very easy-going about letting us check out late and store our bags for a few extra hours. i hope things improve for the next guests!
