We rented out the room for long-term stay (over 3 weeks) to serve as our temporary housing as we relocated to the bay area. Overall the host was very pleasant and the room is one of the more affordable options in the area - however it probably is best suited for short-term stays.

The room itself is pretty spacious along with some of the closet and drawers under the bed to use. The bathroom was adequate and the remaining common areas we seldom used. The host was accommodating to provide some space for us in the kitchen but our lack of need mixed with the density/smell of the existing items steered us to not use it as much. The neighborhood/community was fine the entire stay.

As noted, there is an adjacent room rented out at times which leads to some shared spaces (e.g., bathroom) and added stress. Mainly it caused extra attention being spent to managing the order of cars (3 cars for a one lane driveway) and management of the valuables (in your car or your room) to your discretion.

The only other item of note is that sound travels throughout the home pretty easily. Some people tend to be on very late schedules (e.g., up at 2 to 3am walking around) as well as the added noise if there were other guests.
