My partner and I stayed at this apartment for 3 weeks. Emey was a great host - very responsive and followed up immediately to all of our questions. The apartment itself is a nice little place - it's very quiet with no one above or below and the neighborhood is quiet as well, which we appreciated very much. There is a lot of light, with trees and sky just outside the windows. The neighborhood has lots of great restaurants as well as grocery stores and the CalTrain is in 20 min walking distance too (although I didn't feel great walking there at night since the Lawrence stop is a little remote.)

A few things to note - the apartment (and the furniture) is a bit older and is rented out on a continuos basis - it does not have permanent residents that rent it out on occasion. This means we had to provide certain basic items - e.g., the kitchen did not have salt/pepper, plastic baggies, hand soap, dish towels, etc - it did have dishes and pots and pans (and a dishwasher, toaster oven, coffee maker etc) but didn't have the usual food and kitchen items that a lived-in place has. Just FYI to bring your own stuff. Also, the bed was very squeaky - every time I moved it would squeak - that kept my partner up at night but he is also a light sleeper - for me it was generally ok.

All in all, Emey is great and the apartment is fine - it has most of the basics and is in a good, quiet location.
