I couldn't have found a more ideal home for my family to stay in during our Bay Area trip. Our 2-year-old loved the backyard and the dedicated play area inside the house. My husband and I loved the spacious and fully-stocked kitchen, the comfortable living room, and the home's location (a short walk from everything we needed and wanted, including fabulous restaurants, a grocery store, coffee shops, and a children's park). Mike really made sure we were taken care of; he showed us around the house when we arrived and was available by text/phone during our entire stay. Even before we arrived he supplied us with a ton of great recommendations on where to eat, where to shop, and what to do with a toddler. The home was clean and organized and we felt very comfortable.

The neighborhood, with its tree-lined streets, is charming and pretty quiet. I have only one quibble: The train station is just a few blocks away, and we could hear the train whistles from inside the house. We barely heard them during the day, but at night, when you're trying to sleep, it can be a bit of a bother. I'm a light sleeper, though. (I should add that I adjusted pretty quickly to the noise at night. By the second or third night I didn't hear the whistles at all.)

I would come back to this home in a heartbeat. I loved it. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality, Mike!
