Sandy lets rooms in Fremont, a short walk from lots of ... well, you know, Fremont culture. It’s an upstairs room with a private bath. The place is immaculate, and she is happy to set you up with choice of coffee or tea in the morning. There’s a Midnight Cookies around the corner, along with a great little Japanese place I ate at twice. She knows the area well and shares good recommendations. I recommend walking or public transportation.
