Joan, Saw your comment. The easiest way to get to our place from the east bay is via BART and the bus from Fremont to where-I-live. You'll want to take the 181 bus (not the 180 bus) and costs $2 if you manage to grab a from-to bus transfer at the transfer machine, which is near the "up" escalator in the Fremont BART station. If you forget the transfer, it is $4 each way. You'll want to get off the bus at the Civic Center stop at Mission St. Walk 2 blocks east along Mission St. to . and take a right (towards the south). Our place is on the right and has a bushy native garden in the front.
