El Nido lives up to its name. Truly a nest, perfect for a couple or a solo traveler, with a porch shaded by trees. The basement apartment feels spacious, but as the description says, it can be a bit noisy from activity upstairs. If you are light sleeper or are bothered by the sound of walking above you, look elsewhere, but otherwise this is a gem in a truly gorgeous neighborhood (Montclair) convenient to many points in the Bay Area. The hosts are kind and helpful, and the whole place has a remarkable sense of style and grace. I will be back!
