I loved staying here. High on a hill in one of San Francisco's most beautiful neighborhoods, it has a kind of secret garden feel as you pass through a rhododendron-filled courtyard and through a garden gate, then down a set of outdoor stairs to a private, very spacious cottage. If it's clear you can see the ocean as you descend. If it's foggy you are enveloped in the soft quiet mist and the treetops of the hillside below.

The owners were very responsive, answering my first inquiry within the hour. Though our schedule didn't permit much time with Adam and Joan, they were so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including good quality coffee, yogurt, cereal, bagels, jam, etc. Very convenient to have a microwave and small frig in the unit. Comfortable beds and good heaters.

Parking in this neighborhood is abundant and without the usual time limits, and you are within walking distance of major streetcar and bus lines. So many of the major talents of early 20th century California architecture and landscaping had a hand in designing this neighborhood and it is a true pleasure and privilege to walk here.

Just hope this place is available next time I want to visit San Francisco!
