What a great location for seeing the Bay Area! Easy access to both 280 & 101! If you avoid commute times, you can be in Santa Cruz or San Francisco in under an hour!
We were in Room#3 for 4 nights. We are from Tennessee and were finishing up a 2-week tour of Northern California before flying out of SF on 4/16/18. As AirBnB photos show, #3 is a small room, with a bedside table on one side. There is a functional and sturdy desk & chair. The closet is good-sized w/ shelves and hangers. The mattress is not wonderful, but it is fine, as are the 3 bed pillows & linens.
The shared rooms are nice; I used the kitchen to make a great dinner using wonderful local CA produce. Pans, utensils, all necessities... were available & easy to find. French Roast coffee, tea, oatmeal, Brita water, etc. were always available in the kitchen. I especially enjoyed using a gas range, as it's all-electric where I live. We'd planned on using the W/D, so we could bring fewer clothes, which we did.
I never used AirBnB before this trip. This was 4th (& last) one and the only one where the host isn't on the premises or grounds. We met all of the other guests, at least briefly. Most were there for only 1 or 2 nights & included a mother & son touring SCU, a couple in town for a wedding, a mother/daughter from France on holiday, & people in town for business. Everyone seemed fine and was respectful. However, being respectful can become a problem when 6 adult guests share 1 bathroom & are a waking up about the same time. No one wanted to knock on the door & ask the person in the bath to hurry, which left some older ladies (including me) dancing in the hall, hoping someone would finish their shower! I mentioned this to Gloria, & I think she is considering adding a 1/2 bath.
Though Gloria was not on-site, we was very responsive and we saw her every day. She was most gracious when we locked ourselves out by somehow managing to lock our key in our room! :( Gloria also gave us some great tips on local places; we especially loved the live Blues & Cajun food at The Poor House Bistro she recommended.
It is a terrific value and I would definitely stay here again, but I would prefer at least 1-1/2 baths -- unless renting out the whole house w/ family/friends.
Thank you, Ginger & family, and best wishes for your continued success! <3
