Maria’s place is a lovely island of calm in Cole Valley. It’s a cottage behind a classic Victorian surrounded by fruit trees. The area is very quiet and was perfect for my husband and myself. We also liked it because check in was very easy with the lockbox and parking was close by (for about $25/day but very convenient). The neighborhood is very walkable and there is great breakfast and pastries and other amenities just a few minutes away. Maria was very responsive - we had a brief issue with the toilet and she responded right away. Overall a good stay and a great find within SF. Thanks Maria!
