Mina's place is awesome! It was a staycation/getaway for my parents and very elderly grandma. They loved it! Very inviting, cozy, and relaxing.
Great location, as far as convenience to stores/downtown/freeway. Mina made it clear there is a train very close by, as did other reviews I read, so we were all totally aware. The train noise is noticable for sure, but should not be bothersome to the average person. Only my 94yr old grandma(has advanced dementia/Alzheimer's) had difficulty with the loudness/frequency. Mina did provide earplugs though!
The place has everything you could need or want and was just as expected, super cute and very comfy. A few small things would have been great to set it over the top. One thing, it would have been super convenient to have a private small "backyard" or someplace to let the doggie go potty without the need to get fully dressed and have take the pooch out for a walk every time. However, this definitely should not be a deal breaker, as the neighborhood is very welcoming and nice. Also, would have been great to have at least one closest unlocked/available for guests staying a bit longer (my family stayed a week), and a washer/dryer to use. Those things really aren't totally necessary or a big deal at all, but thought I'd mention for future visitors.
All in all, my family really appreciated having Mina's place to call home for the week and thought it was awesome! I absolutely recommend her place to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the Bay Area! Thank you again, Mina
