The Outer Richmond neighborhood is rather far from downtown, and as a result, it's much quieter in the area with less restaurants, shops, and bars nearby. That said, the neighborhood does have a few local places, and the seclusion adds to the charm, in my opinion. In fact, the place is only three blocks from the beach and near many hiking trails. Great place, and the hosts were wonderful. Met my needs perfectly. Thanks so much for letting me stay!!
