We stayed at Philip's home during one month with my family (we were three travelers).
We had a great stay.
Philip's hospitality was great and his home was very nice :
Fully equipped house, secure and quiet neighborhood, good located (30 min until BART STATION by foot or 10 min until BUS STOP. Therefore, a car is not obligatory).
Great view also.
I recommend this location, which was exactly as on the pictures.
