I stayed at Robert's place longer-term than most during a summer. Robert is friendly and always easy to reach if you need anything. Robert was flexible and communicative leading up to my stay. Check-in was easy but thorough. The basement is very spacious, and it is very private. I only saw Robert downstairs a handful of times while staying there. There is always something new to discover hidden in the decor. I think I spent hours looking at everything. A few buses pick up a short walk away, the 5 goes right to the zoo, Fremont, and downtown. The full kitchen is shared with Robert, but downstairs is a mini fridge, microwave electric kettle, and coffee maker, which is pretty much all you need. There's a park, a cafe and plenty of restaurants and takeout places within a shirt walk. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and pleasant to go for walks in. The beach is just a short drive away, and on Saturdays, a farmers market is about 5 minutes away. Shopping and grocery stores are less than a mile away, and lots of other cool bars, restaurants, and shopping are right along the bus lines. The location of Robert's place is perfect, I wish I could've stayed forever. I highly recommend staying at Robert's place and would definitely do it again. Enjoy!
