Alison was the perfect host for us! Greeted us conveniently, showed us the room, promptly addressed anything that came up, and left us to enjoy. The room was spacious and clean and it felt like we had our own place as we never again encountered anyone in the house during our stay. The house is ideally located near restaurants, bars, a market, and close proximity to the Marina area and between all the places we visited. The neighborhood was nice; we were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night. Parking on the street near the house was a breeze and free after regular business hours. My boyfriend had a dream about being eaten by the bed, which mirrored my sentiments on the subject, but the overall value of the stay was not diminished by this aspect. Alison was even nice enough to notify me of an article left behind. Great host, great place, great experience!
