Josephine accommodated my late arrival after a long drive from Southern California, which was very helpful and greatly appreciated. Parking was a bit tricky for me, so I had to park a bit further down from her place but not too far. The complex could use more lighting, especially since I was arriving late the first night and ended up coming back late each night I was there. It seemed like a safe neighborhood, but I would've felt more comfortable if there was more lighting. The room is spacious, the basic cable was suffice (it was nice having a TV), though I never did get the password for the WiFi - I wasn't sure if free WiFi was included with the room or not, so I ended up using my phone as a hotspot. It also looked like the materials from the popcorn ceiling in the room was coming off, as I found some on the hardwood floor and I also found a small dead bug inside the toilet the second night, which I'm unsure of how those happened. Possibly because it is an older building, which is not unusual like any other aging homes in the SF area. Otherwise, Josephine's place has potentials, especially since it's spacious, has everything to meet one's needs (including a mini fridge, microwave, toiletries, towels, hair-dryer, coffee maker, etc.), and is conveniently located near a couple of large shopping centers and public transportation. Noise level was so-so, but didn't bother me from sleeping soundly. One big plus is the fact that the room has a heater, which is a rare find and it kept me comfortable due to the much cooler temperature of the area. Though I'd usually prefer a bit more interaction with the host, total privacy was provided, especially with the separate entry and the automatic lock to the door that was rather convenient. Will certainly keep Josephine's place in mind in the future when returning to the bay area.
