The place is better than it looks in the pictures. Dana is a great host, and she welcomes with a bottle of Pinot Grigio. She gives many information to enjoy the experience. The optional parking spot is not so optional. It is very hard to find a parking spot on the street because highly populated and closeness to a Bart station. There is no kitchen stove but there are alternative solutions to cook food. In addition, there are laundry machine and dryer available. There is a smell of mold at the entrance of the apartment and in the bathroom. We got used to it though. A clean apartment even if some spots need more attention. We had an overall positive experience, and we would return there.
