My son and I stayed at Dianne's place for a week, and we enjoyed it very much.
For my son, it was the first visit to the US, and I wanted him to have a bit of home-stay experiences. Also for me, it was the first visit the bay area in about 18 years, and I was a bit anxious about staying in the area.
Therefore, the conversation we had during our stay was the most valuable experiences of our journey because we could feel what it's like to be living in an American home.
The advice and recommendations she gave us helped us a lot, especially in avoiding the traffic jam in the morning and finding nice restaurants.
While we had great conversations, she was also very considerate in keeping the privacy of the guests. We could leave very early in the morning at 5:30 and come home very late like 23:00.
We could use the guest's bathroom exclusively during our stay, and it was very clean.

Every morning she prepared us breakfast, and we enjoyed the meal very much.
Homemade muffins, homemade bread, and freshly taken fruits from the yard are much better than we eat at home and now we miss them.
We also liked the cat, Kitty and the dog, Mary(not sure about their correct spelling). They are adorable and friendly. We know they missed us when we leave and we miss them too.
If we have a chance to visit the area in the future, we definitely hope to stay at her place again.
