The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and the house was perfect for us as it was located just around the corner from our daughter's. We enjoyed having Bernal Hill and Holly Park close by, and went out for a family walk to enjoy the views. Cortland Avenue is close as well. It's lively and up-and-coming and we picked up groceries at the Good Life Grocery which is well stocked. We ate at several restaurants on Cortland, including Red Hill and Moki, great finds. The house was well stocked with towels and paper towels and other supplies, and though we did not avail ourselves much of the kitchen supplies, were happy to be told we were welcome to them if we desired.
