For those who do not wish to stay in a tourist hotel in the wharf area or a pricey hotel downtown, Carl’s place is a great alternative. Adding the free off street parking space and well equipped kitchen (to facilitate cooking) to the equation makes this option that much more compelling. Carl and his team are first class hosts. His home is tastefully furnished and in a reasonably quiet section of San Francisco. Although there are many steps to the second level, the bedroom was reasonably comfortable. Conversations in the bedroom next store could be heard, but everyone observed the 10 pm quiet curfew without a problem. So if privacy at all hours of the day is not a top priority, book with confidence and say hi to Carl for me!
