Bruce and Lawrence were wonderful hosts! The view from the deck was marvelous --I enjoyed many evenings sitting out there sipping my tea and relaxing. If you are a runner--the Canyon trail is awesome up to Twin Peaks and back. Then bonus--it is lined with yummy blackberries--which taste delicious on Bruce's Dutch Pancakes! The BART and bus system is easy to figure out to get around and explore! Then the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. My son and I had an absolute fabulous time! Birt is a great dog greeter! Must enjoy dogs to stay there--and Birt is sweet and gentle. If you visit the helicopter ride my son and I took through SF helicopters was worth every dollar!
