The neighborhood is very peaceful and near the I-280, so it's very easy to get around the Bay Area. We had total privacy at the studio, that by the way is as luxurious as the photos suggest. The balcony has a good view of the city, so you can enjoy a calm night watching the city lights and the planes piling up in the sky. The eletric fireplace is a nice touch, makes the room even more cozy. When you enter the driveway at night you can appreciate how beautiful the house itself is. I really enjoyed my stay at Fara's place, and for sure will stay there again on my next time at the Bay Area.
