My husband and I were visiting San Francisco for his birthday and the cottage really was the highlight of the trip! It feels so peaceful and secluded when you are in the courtyard and cottage. I love all the vegetation and gardens, the chickens are so cool too! I could spend hours relaxing outside at all the comfy chairs and lounge areas. The hammock and hot tub were an added bonus! The cottage itself is adorable and so clean! It had everything we needed and was well stocked. Suellen is responsive and answered my questions and also gave me lots of recommendations. Check in is easy peasy! If we ever go to Oakland or San Fran again this is where we will stay😊
