After staying here for several weeks, we felt like we belonged in SF. What a fun, eclectic, artistic, and interesting place. Merkley is so kind and easy to get in touch with. I always felt safe (which was very important to me) and comfortable. Windows open during the day is a must. The shower can by tricky but you get the hang of it. Trying to find parking was the only negative aspect of the stay. Overall, great host and great spot. Great food close by!
