I hope you read until the end. The sweet room I stayed in helped me get my thoughts together. My stay included fresh towels, slippers to walk around the house in, a friendly plant on the windowsill, a nightstand lamp (looks like a plant, too), a handheld mirror (which made me feel beautiful) and water bottles (sodas, too, *chef’s kiss*). The shower was one of the best showers I’ve ever used in my life - the water pressure and warmth was infinitely off the charts, which is rare in houses of San Francisco I have to say. Dongmei helped me check in. She went above and beyond when we met. I would stay here again. Oooo but the kitchen was so cool too! There was hot sauce - I made rice mixed with noodles, and used beautiful chopsticks. Soon, I made myself at home on the couch and absorbed the peaceful presence of the entire home. I felt like one of Dongmei’s journeys here on earth was to help host many people who are taking complex paths in their lives. Her place felt like a spirited away sort of pit stop for my spirit. Thank you
