I stayed at Lisa's for 4 weeks and had a good experience with the place. The place itself is very nice and well kept. Everything that I needed for long term stay is there to use. I used a rental car, so I can't say anything about the public transportation, however everything from grocery, pharmacy and even entertainment were only 5-10 minutes driving distance from Lisa which makes it very convenient. It also took me only 15 minutes drive to go to San Francisco and it goes via 280 which typically has less traffic than the other 101 Highway. Street parking is plenty, but if you are driving, the only drawback is Tuesday and Wednesday where street cleaning makes finding parking ridiculously difficult if you are coming home after 7PM. If you planning to stay at Lisa's and hit any Tuesday or Wednesday, I suggest asking her permission to park in front of her garage. She has been nice and understanding about it and will let you use it if you ask.
