Small but very clean. Some of the house rules made it feel stressful. Would be better for a single person than a couple.

Hello Suanne, I am so sorry to read that the House Rules was stressful for you. I wish you had share that with me then. One of the rules is that if the guest is not comfortable with the rules, moving to another place could be better. Sorry again

Clean, cozy, comfortable, conveniently located. A great stay!Note, if you need a dark room to sleep, bring a sleep mask. The skylight is over the bed and it gets bright in the morning.

The host was fantastic, close to San Francisco Bay Trail, quick access to I-80 which will take you to San Francisco or Sacramento. Nice quiet place with great view of San Pablo Bay. Next time I return to San Francisco area this is where I will stay. Did I mention the host is awesome.

The studio is small but nicely appointed, well-maintained and impeccably clean! Seriously, not a spec of dust to be found anywhere. A brand new full-sized fridge had just been installed and the stove and shower looked new as well. Judy is a wonderful and attentive host. Responsive and kind. The garden is lovely with a bit of bay view. A great value overall. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant property

The studio apartment fit my needs perfectly. Everything I needed was provided and it was immaculate. I was quite comfortable. Judy, my host, was very pleasant and did anything she could to make my stay comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is the garage converted into a studio with a queen size bed, small bathroom, and mini-kitchen. The unit is clean and the bed is comfortable which we appreciated. However, the owner's fixation on the upkeep of her property versus prioritizing the comfort of the guests, made for an unwelcome and disappointing stay. As mentioned in her house rules, no shoes or bare feet are allowed in the unit. However, she repeatedly asked us if we understood the no shoes rule before we were allowed to enter the unit. We were then told to not flush any toilet paper (including soiled) down the toilet because that could clog the toilet. We were also told to take care not to scratch her new fridge. Unlike many other stays, there are no basic kitchen condiments like salt, pepper, seasonings, cooking oil, coffee beans, or instant coffee. There were a few tea bags in the cabinet. The bathroom amenities are also minimal: shampoo, body wash and hand soap. No hair conditioner is provided. A hair dryer was provided only upon a text request to the owner. The property advertises a washer, dryer, and barbecue grill but they was not mentioned upon arrival nor how to access them. The washer and dryer were not within sight. As a reminder, you will be charged a security deposit upon booking which will not be returned until 14 days after your stay. Overall, we were disappointed with the hospitality and wished we had stayed elsewhere.
