I enjoyed my stay at Alan's place. I was traveling by bike and the location next to the SF bay trail was a plus. Everything worked in the house and I was able to cook my meals in the kitchen. The 3 other house mates where young men in their 20's. I had great conversations and would consider returning in the future. As in many shared spaces the kitchen was a bit messy and I often needed to wash others dishes to get what I needed. But the benefit of having a new friend outweighed the challenge of cleanup.
