Rizal was very prompt and professional in responding and tending to details. In fact, I submitted my booking request after midnight and he accepted it within minutes! Rizal also was very accommodating when I had to re-arrange my schedule arriving and leaving the Bay Area. He offered driveway parking (a real plus!) since on some nights I could not find street parking, and helped me get my luggage to the bedroom. I had a brief initial conversation with his wife as I was checking out; she helped me with my luggage. Both persons are very warm.

The room and bath were very clean; the bed was very comfortable and the shower had amazing water pressure. Two bottles of water awaited on the night stand, a welcomed treat. Although Rizal offered the dining table for me to use my laptop there, I did some work in my room when I was not out at meetings. I did not have occasion to use the kitchen, hence, no comment there. The house and the neighborhood are very quiet and safe. Overall, it was a very nice stay.
