Marjorie is a great hostess, her place is clean and comfortable, and the location is 5-star. Proximity to Alum Rock Park is a HUGE plus -- a really outstanding park for hiking and jogging. An absolute gem. By the way, I noticed that one of the other reviewers wrote something to the effect that "this is a shared place", and that is NOT the case -- it is an entirely private apartment, and no part of it is shared with anyone else. It has its own private entrance, etc. We would definitely stay here again.
