Your own private studio in a quiet neighborhood with a patio, veggie garden, kitchen with stove, fridge, and teapot that is only a short drive to redwood forests, the bay, and 25 minutes to San Francisco via the nearby highway (though we couldn't hear the highway traffic). Sounds just about perfect. My wife enjoyed all of this as our very comfortable home-away-from-home for 4 days. Our host, Laurie, was very kind and knowlegable about the area, and had the cottage stocked with sundries (soap, tea, some cooking condiments) when we arrived. Just lovely!
