This was a last minute getaway for us. We literally sent the request 4 hours before our arrival. The response came within an hour and we were on our way. Alison's husband greeted us at the door and introduced us to her as we went upstairs to our room. She showed us our room and told us about the amenities. Everything was just as pictured. We were then shown the bathroom about 5 steps across the hall. We had the top floor to ourselves that night. No one was occupying the other room which is ensuite, so you're unlikely to meet anyone in the hall in the middle of the night. The location is great just a block of Union Street and 3 blocks from Greenwich Street. Lots of restaurants and shops on both streets. The bus line just a block away took us to Union Square in 30 minutes during rush hour. I'm sure it's less time during non-commute hours. Marina Green area is about a 7 block walk and features boats and yachts in two harbors. It also gives you great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and sailboats & cargo ships coming and going. We hope to visit again soon & Alison's getaway is the perfect place to stay.
