Teresa is a warm and friendly host who shows a lot of care for her guests. She has thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with ham and bread and jam and juice for breakfast. The room we had is actually a suite with a private bathroom, bedroom, and living room. Everything was very clean. The furniture is antique and the art on the walls is tasteful and interesting. We loved the old elevator and the Art Deco lobby. Alameda subway station is 5 minutes walk and very easy access to the airport (20 min) or the historic center (15 min, or an hour's walk). The neighborhood has shops and cafes and essentials nearby. Overall we loved it and had a great stay and would definitely return.
