Great host! I appreciated how quickly she returned our communication, and how honest she was about the space. The toilet and shower are outside, (albeit very private) so that might be a consideration, especially if the weather is cold. The space heater was great, and there were plenty of blankets. We only stayed one night, but it would have been nice to stay a bit longer. There is no refrigerator or food prep area, but the location was very convenient to restaurants, and also to public transportation. Louise was nice enough to make us coffee and boiled eggs for a morning snack! Very easy to get to San Francisco- you can drive to a BART station or walk to the Emery-go-round shuttle, and also close to the Bay Bridge if you are driving into SF.
