Ellen’s place is great. We came to San Francisco to participate in the event in the Marina and Ellen’s place had the perfect location, walking distance to shops on Union and Chestnut Streets, as well as walking distance to our event at the Marina Green and Fort Mason. There is one off street parking spot, which is really nice, as the neighborhood is otherwise tough for parking. Ellen was a great host, very communicative, and her place is her actual lived in residence—not a full time Airbnb ‘hotel’— and so it has complete facilities which she graciously shared. Her kitchen was fully equipped and we ate all our meals in, cooking ourselves. It is still an urban environment, and there was a little street noise on Friday night, but we were early to bed and early to rise for our event and in general the neighborhood was very quiet. The house also has a lovely private open back porch that (when we staying in June) catches the late afternoon sun. We would happily stay there again.
