Elaine's place is very convenient to freeways and the train/BART, yet very quiet. In addition to the spacious one-bedroom, Elaine has provided an outdoor private patio with plants and overhead shade. (I was sorry not to have a chance to really enjoy the patio - I arrived during the N Cal fires when the air quality was bad, and then it rained - clean air but wet.) I was very comfortable indoors - comfortable bed, hot shower and room to spread out. A pleasant walk to Peet's and Trader Joe's was enjoyable in the fresh air after or even in the rain - nothing is far. Having a parking space made things easy though street parking was available. Elaine responded quickly when I had questions and was helpful.
