Esther and the ladies that live here were very welcoming an fun to talk to when I ran into them. The room and house are amazing and very comfortable. I was able to cook almost every night and I had plenty of room in the fridge. The neighborhood is great and has tons of places within walking distance such as a wholefoods, Starbucks, trader joes, jamba juice and some great little places to eat. The room is huge and has a TV with cable along with a huge bathroom. The washer and dryer are a few steps down the hall and the back porch was a nice place to eat breakfast and dinner. Also Cal train is only a block away and is great way to get into the city to go visit or commute. The kitchen was very awesome and I had anything I could possibly need to cook my dinners every night. Parking was only a few yards away out in the street, but I never had a problem finding a spot. The room also had 2 doors that opened like windows and let lots of fresh air in, which I really enjoyed.
