We had 2 adults and 2 kids stay for a month, which worked out well. The amenities and rooms were just what we needed and our host was fantastic! There was a couple of parks within walking distance for the kids, and I was able to walk to the Bart for work (there is a challenging hill to climb, so walking is not for everyone.) Safeway, Ross, Wlagreens, and Dollar Store were down the street or you could drive 2 minutes to El Cerrito Plaza and wander a nice outdoor mall, go to the Farmer's market Tues or Saturday, or go to the restaurants, and theater, etc. Sometimes people above us were loud, and you have to leave the door open, air vent on, and use the back burners only to cook without setting off the fire alarm, though. Those were the only quirks about the place. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and our trip to San Francisco!
