Nanci was both a welcoming and generous host and her house has a wonderful '20's feel. The separate bedroom out the back is reached through a pleasant herb garden and I always felt welcome at the breakfast nook and kitchen in the main house.
But the real secret is the location. I was always able to park outside however her house is just three short blocks from Rockridge, which has wonderful bars, restaurants, bookstores and the Bart.
Staying with Nanci gave me a new appreciation of San Francisco!
