Ainah & Joie are incredibly welcoming and accommodating, sharing not just space in their home, but good conversation and even home cooked meals on occasion! They have a lovely apartment and offer the spacious spare room with a private bathroom, abundant storage and useful amenities. The whole place is kept very clean, but still homey. Street parking can be a challenge, but it's free and there is usually a spot just outside the building. The only downside is the community, coin-operated laundry, still more convenient than trips to a laundromat. There are those nearby as well, if it suits you. The area is nice and conveniently located with lots of shops, markets & restaurants within walking distance. The 101 passes through, making San Francisco proper just a short drive and San Jose not very far at all. My stay with Ainah & Joie was incredible, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again.
