The good, the bad, and the ugly!
Owners are responsive, property is spacious, and well equipped (roaches included, which owner will try to pin on guests and charge at an extra cost). Additionally, flooring, furnishings such as the couch, and fridge are severely deteriorated. There is also quite some distance from the home to San Francisco when you take traffic into account. Keep in mind that you have to pay a toll each time you cross the bridge. Therefore, most of our time was spent outside the house, exploring the Bay Area. Specially, since the neighborhood was somewhat sketchy. Luckily, parking is provided for one car along with extensive surveillance. As privacy is not guaranteed: there is full media coverage inside and outside the home of both floors. Will we return? Not likely! But see for yourself, if you dare.
