Stayed 4 nights at Lauren’s place with our son and my in-laws in the early days of January. The house looked exactly like in the photos and everything was and worked as the posting said. We did not experience any noise from the train or any heating issues as previous guests had mentioned. We did not even notice train and the heating worked very well in the cold Bay Area says we got (around 5-10 C).
What we did not like about the place was that the ceiling had leaks. It had rained before check-in, but nothing extraordinary, and there was a foot-long crack on the ceiling that let water in. The kitchen floor as a result was soaked, and we had to tend to that ourselves. Far from the quality expected from an AirBNB. In addition, during our stay I wrote to Lauren a couple of times (apart from the water issue), but she never responded. Communication could have been handled much better. She was quick to respond during booking, but not during her stay. Other than that things worked out well
