I stayed at Xuan's place with three other roommates for three months while doing an internship in the bay area. The home itself is great. It was well furnished, clean, well decorated, and nicely put together. There is also an outdoor fenced in patio that was awesome for sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful California weather. A washer was available outside, and a shared dryer was available for $1 per use in the garage, although I personally always air dried my clothes on the patio.
It's definitely possible to stay at this place without a car, as the nearest Caltrain station is 25 minutes of walking away, but with a bicycle there is plenty of food and entertainment very close by.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this home.
