Skate and Jeannie's place is very welcoming and unique, with a backyard garden that winds down, and down, and down to explore and enjoy. It is clear that the two of them enjoy creating a beautiful and intriguing home. The Saffron Sanctuary is very cozy and warm, and I did not find sharing a bathroom to be a problem. (My stay was only one night). Their neighborhood is quiet, but the main drag for Bernal Heights is only a 10 minute walk away. Likewise, a 10 minute walk in the uphill direction gets you to the summit of Bernal Heights and more wonderful views like the ones from their back yard. Parking is easy! That is worth a lot!
I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with Skate and Jeannie, but found them to be easy going and genuine, with lots of helpful tips about enjoying the city.
