Carol's home is located on a relatively quiet street, just 3 blocks from Golden Gate Park. We enjoyed the sun-filled living room and use of the piano during our stay. Since I prefer to cook meals for my family rather than go out, I really appreciated having a great set of kitchen knives to work with.
I do wish I had better understood about how the house was shared with others. I knew there was a shared entrance with a downstairs unit, but I assumed the part of the house we were staying in would have a locked door or something to separate us from anyone staying downstairs. However, this was not the case.
This would not have been such a concern to me had it been Carol staying downstairs. However, Carol was not in residence during our stay. Instead, an adult male was staying downstairs. As a single female traveling with two children, it made me uncomfortable that an unknown man was staying in the home with us. I would have liked to know that this was a possibility before I booked. Fortunately, we never even saw the other man and everything turned out okay, but that was one aspect that made me uneasy.
