Heather and Maneesh’s place is close enough to the center to be very easy with tons of transportation. We enjoyed being near the beach (about 5 min walk) and seeing another neighborhood. Neat places to eat and neighborhood life to witness. Heather and Maneesh are super hospitable and the place is well appointed. You walk into the front door of the house and then through the garage to get to your own 1 BD, 1 BA secret haven, which makes it cozy but a little confusing at first. But it’s a great place and for the money it can’t be beat. Nice local suggestions too. We loved Andy’s Stumptown Roastery and the North Beach Pizza (here, not in north beach). Thanks Heather for all your help!
