This was an amazing house and we loved the pirate ship even though the rain meant our grandkids had limited use. It is very clearly the home of a family with hundreds of photos and lots of memoriabilia everywhere. There is a beautiful view across the bay and through the Golden gate from the study upstairs. Our one problem was that it was very hard for me as a person with strength and balance difficulties to get in and out of the house and to use the stairway which was very steep. We had asked about this since there was a long front stairway and were told no problem because there were only 3 steps up to the back porch entrance. However, there was a very steep driveway up from the street , an uneven pathway up to the back porch, and I was frightened every time I had to go in or out of the house. This was of course worse because we were in a rainy season. The front of the house is on a sloping street.
These conditions should have been made clearer to us. Dave was a helpful host.
