Kim & Richard were incredibly hospitable during my entire stay. Richard came to pick me up at the airport when my flight got in. The apartment is well stocked with tea and other drinks. They even left some sweets from Trader Joe's in the fridge for me! All in all, they went above and beyond to make me feel at home.
One small note: if you plan on walking most places, you do have to cross the freeway to go south and bridges to go west toward downtown. There are pedestrian pathways, but not everyone might feel comfortable using them! If you have a car, the location is absolutely great. There are a few characters in the neighborhood but I felt fine walking most places.
