Darren’s place is in a safe location, close to a lot of restaurants. It is close to a major street and I could hear cars racing at night. He offers garage parking which is amazing in the Bay Area. The unit is part of a duplex bisected by two garages. I did not hear anything from the other unit, even though it was occupied. The house is clean and pretty newly remodeled. The living room and kitchen are all in one room. We loved the dimmable lights and big smart TV. I do feel the master bed can use a box spring. It creaked a lot when I tried to sit up and read. The kitchen had very basic supplies, it can use some more items such as scissors, paper towels, wine glasses, baking sheets. The walls between the bedrooms are very thin. The house number is missing a digit. For the location, parking and privacy, Darren’s place was good for a short term stay in the Bay Area.
