This was my very first BnB experience and my brother and I really enjoyed our stay with Cathryn Blum. When we first arrived she took us through the tour of her lovely home in Potrero Hill. It's decorated nicely, super clean and the view off the back porch was absolutely lovely. The tall windows in the living area really make the city twinkle. My brother and I arrived in town on New Years Eve and since we didn't make any plans she invited us to join her and some friends to watch the bay fireworks and take in some of the city views while ringing in the New Year. We could have asked for a better host - Cathryn really made our new years trip special and one to remember. She also made a great soup for us called Hopping John - as a tradition for good luck in the new year. Thank you Catbird! Looking forward to visiting again soon... Best wishes to lots of love and happiness in 2013 and beyond!
