John was very responsive and respectful of privacy. A nice music collection he has!
The whole place is neat. Room is on the upper floor, next to the host's, above kitchen and living room.
Location is in cute Fremont, near the river (take a nice walk along the river passing Google's office towards Fremont bridge), convenient to restaurants and breweries although I didn't spend much time here. City living - breath in or leave it: the place is close to big streets so noise seemed to be unavoidable. The room might be better for one than two although it could be fine if you just sleep there.
As it's a shared living situation with the host, you may have a chance to meet his friends during their game eve. Wish I had had more time and energy to mingle and ask about the city from locals like them.
