Darrens house was clean, comfortable and had all that we needed. As a family of five we spent 11 nights there over the Christmas and New Year vacation. I picked Darrens place as it was preferable to a hotel over that duration and it was more affordable that staying in downtown San Francisco. This was a great place for exploring the greater bay area too. It is extremely convenient to San Francisco airport but there was no noise from the planes. The area seems to be quiet and safe. There are shops and restaurants close by. We had no problem driving into San Francisco which took approximately 25 minutes and we usually parked at Pier 27 (Cruise Ship terminal) which had a day rate of $25. Check-in was simple and Darren was available if we needed anything which we actually didn't. We appreciated the comfortable living room for relaxing after a day exploring and also the washing machine and dryer given the length of out stay. Would certainly recommend for families.
