The unit is compact and nicely done. In the living/dining area, the high ceiling, many windows, and direct access to a big sunny deck make the space feel much larger than it is. The deck is particularly pleasant, surrounded by trees and a half-wild garden. The birds and the sunset over Golden Gate, viewed from the street above, will give you a show every day! ##### Marie L. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy W. Jul 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Marchant Ct Staying at this home in Kensington is great if you need to be in the East Bay and you have a car to get around. Parking and driving to the home tucked in the hills was easy once you arrive and directions were clear to follow. You will need to walk up and down a driveway with a pitch, but we had no issues coming and going. Even though you are in a basement unit it is a separate living space. In fact, we did not see the owner nor noticed any noise in the 8 days my son and I stayed there. Windows and the temperate weather in the East bay make for pleasant stay. Fans and space heaters are available if needed. Good stocked kitchen allows for meal prep so you don’t have to eat out all the time. The couch folds out for another bed- my 10 yr old son slept there fine. Recommended. ##### Timothy W. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2021
