Mark thanks for your 5 star review! I noted that the 2 xl twin beds were pushed together. Fyi, if you do return, i have a kit to make those two xl twin beds into a King Sized bed with king sized sheets and duvet cover. If wanted, we just need advanced notice to put it together for you. best, ed

Dennis was an excellent guest. I would welcome him back any time. He also took the time to point out that my deep tub needed the diverter valve repaired and he recommended that I install a grab bar at the end of the deep tub, which i am now in the processing of doing. Thank you Dennis!

Great location, great neighborhood

Convenient to restaurants, shopping and BART (as well as our granddaughter). The kitchen is fully equipped and great for a family meal if you don’t want to go out, although with all the great places to eat nearby there’s no need to cook. Highly recommended
