Book Trip

Thanks for the books Dr. Jay, because my sister that I was there to visit is in the beginning stages of dementia. The only problem I had with your property was parking!!!!

Simply Pleasant!!!

There is no doubt that Dr. Jay is a super host. The place is located close to Richmond BART. I moved to the US for the first time. I was looking for a short stay before finding a long-term place to live. Dr. Jay's cottage is a friendly welcoming place, that offered me like feel comfortable at home.

Don’t stay here unless you have no other choice!!

Was expecting something cheap due to the price, I was not expecting a horrible rotten smell from the shower or so many bugs (dead and alive). Extremely unclean. The suite also does not have water that is potable from the tap and must be drunk from a pre-filtered jug, something not included in the ad. The argument that he gave after I said I left was ridiculous, saying he had no clue what I’m taking about and yet told wished i had told him before I left. I don’t know what he expected to do on an immediate basis something is bad in the plumbing-that’s a systemic issue. Aside from the health and safety, the host had a bunch of personal promotion in the suite and personal email (for contract signing) that was just off-putting. I booked for 7 nights but only stayed one before just going to a hotel for the same price.
