Never met Ewa... but her place was great. Best of all was the easy 2-block walk to Courtland Av, a great street with wine bars, coffee shops, restaurants, upscale markets. It's tucked away in a residential area of the city, an area many SF Bay Area people don't even know about. Really nice. Home was very comfortable and the room was just as you see in pictures. Everything was pleasant, clean and welcoming. The cat is very friendly and sweet, though you have to be careful not to let him get out the front door when you come in or out. The only slightly awkward thing is that the bathroom is through the kitchen and family room areas, so in the morning you are going to be walking through the main area in your 'jammies or whatever. Wasn't an issue for me as Ewa wasn't around in the morning, nor was anyone else, but it might bother some people. The bed and room were quite comfortable. One other slightly unusual thing though, is that the bed has no headboard and is placed with its side against the wall rather than the head. I've never been a fan of setups like this, as pillows can just fall off the head of the bed in the night. But not a big deal - the bedding and pillows were really comfortable.
Would definitely stay here again - fantastic location, comfortable home, and attentive host.
