My host was friendly, accommodating, welcoming and down to earth. The room and bathroom were great. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was full access. I loved that she offered fresh fruit from her garden. There are a few kitchen rules to work with but all are easy to comply with. She has a small working garden and chicken coop so she is into living as sustainably as possible. It's a great location, feels a bit sketchy outside but that is just because the neighborhood is a bit run down. Otherwise everyone is friendly. You can walk to Safeway and the train. If you say you are going to do something the expectations are that you will. So don't be wishy washy here.
