First of all, the place is very accurately represented by the description and the photos in the listing. What you see is what you get.

I stayed for the entire summer (>90 days) at Prabha's place, during my internship. My wife was also mostly with me. We felt safe, secure and welcome for the entire time. There are many advantages of this place: it is in walking distance to many shops and restaurants, it is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, it has a private entrance from a nice backyard which you can also make use of as a guest, and so on...

However, these are minuscule positives when compared to Prabha's great personality and hospitality. The most important factor for me when selecting temporary housing was the host, not the place, and I am very happy to have chosen Prabha's listing. She is very warm, attentive, and considerate. She is always on top of any issues and concerns of her guests. She is a well-traveled, sophisticated education professional with whom me and my wife enjoyed our conversations. People around her, including her family and other guests we have interacted with, also left positive experience on us.

Thanks Prabha, if I need temporary housing in the Bay Area in the future, I will definitely be visiting you again.
