We felt very at home at Sarah's place. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking utensils, you can see it gets a lot of use and all the implements encouraged us to make use of what is available. It was a real plus having a good Bose stereo system in the living room/kitchen diner area, and more speakers in the bedroom too. Although the bedroom is a little on the small side and the cupboards were out of bounds, Sarah installed a clotheshorse with adequate hangers and made other storage space available. We had to request an extra night's stay at short notice due to some unexpected family issues and Sarah was very accommodating of our needs. She was very friendly at check in, which was just as it should have been, and made me feel really welcome as soon as I arrived. There is a nice little deck at the back with a couple of chairs and a small table, the deck is shared with the next door neighbour but we never actually saw them. There is a laundry room on the ground floor as well, there is also a big Mac in the bedroom that is available for guests which again was very useful. As this is right in the middle of town, there is some street noise, and the windows are a bit old and with single-paned glass, but that is standard for SF. The prthe property is in good shape generally and the building is safe and in a convenient location. There can be a bit of noise from the back deck too because it overlooks a children's playschool, but the squealing kids kind of add to the charm. For SF, the unit is decent value. We would happily stay here again and really appreciate the efforts Sarah has made with the place, and with us as guests. which again
