We had a great stay! The home was clean, quiet, and perfect for a work trip. The kitchen was a highlight—really well-equipped—and the location made getting around the Bay Area easy. Would definitely stay again.

I had my team up for work travel and this place made it much easier for them to be away from home. I would definitely recommend it to an anyone else looking for a home with charm and nice finishes.
