Maya and her family were very welcoming, that alone would justify booking her place. The room was very comfortable and it's on a quiet part of town, so sleep can be guaranteed as well. Maya paid a lot of attention to make sure I was comfortable and during my stay reassured me she would try accommodating to my needs if I was not entirely happy with anything.

This should not be expected from an AirBnB host, but Maya helped me figure out a few things about the Bay Area as I was just relocating from Europe and needed to get familiar with the housing market, local amenities, and life in the US in general. She is well traveled as well so will appreciate any guest from around the world, she may have even been in your place of origin as well.

If you need a bicycle to move around town, she may be able to help as well.

This was my first time booking a room in a shared property but I couldn't be happier with the experience.
