Patty, Nick, and Ryder are a wonderful family and hosts. They are excellent communicators and gave me the privacy I needed while joining me for conversation on the porch during our free time. As the listing says, it's best suited for 1 person who is going to be gone during the day, which was my plan. Unexpectedly (non covid related) I ended up working remotely, so was there much of the time (for a week). Even though the room was small, I'm glad I picked them for multiple reasons: 1. cool neighborhood. I took short bike rides during rare free moments when it wasn't sweltering and always felt 100% comfortable. I'm typically skittish about biking in traffic but could get lots of places from their home and stick to dedicated bike lanes. 2. great hospitality. I had a bike issue and asked for a wrench. Instead, Nick fixed it for me and offered to go beyond that. They asked if I needed anything from Safeway, and reminded me the laundry room was available. 3. they offered other resources throughout the week, 4. Ryder--a wonderful human, Gizmo (the adorable gecko), Augie (the "puppy"), and Bentley, the "mature" dog. I travel a lot for work and appreciate a chance to be with pets. Patty was determined to keep the dogs out of my way, but when I asked, she let me hang with them. If you need monastic quiet and tons of private space, this may not be for you, but if you like good, honest, people, then I recommend them highly.
