This cottage affords a quiet retreat in the Bay Area, close to multiple amenities. The freeway and rail lines are close by, but not too close that you can hear them. The hosts are friendly and respectful of your space. Checkin was easy and the apartment was well provisioned, so that a long term stay was quite pleasant. The space is quite roomy for a studio, and was able to accommodate my desk for work, and a bike trainer with ease. Closet space is ample. One note is that The space is not well insulated, and I needed to use a space heater (provided) most nights to manage the temperature. Overall, a great experience for a short or even long term stay.
