My siblings and I had a great time at Farhad’s place. It’s comfy and quirky, a real creative space complete with a piano, giant houseplants, and poetry magnets on the fridge. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us — lots of twin beds for lots of bodies and, on this trip at least, no significant others along. We loved that all of Fremont was in easy walking distance, and the smell of Theo’s Chocolate at night was icing on the cake. I was a little surprised at first when I saw that it was in an industrial part of Fremont—maybe it said it in the description and I missed it. But the neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, and it was nice having the canal right out front.
