Annette's place is a true gem and my partner and I felt so lucky to have stumbled upon it. We found its location to be perfect for us. We were able to stay outside of the city center while still having easy access to it (there is a muni stop right behind their house, that takes you to downtown). We explored the Sunset and Richmond districts easily and felt that we were experiencing a more accurate SF while still being able to dabble in the night time excitement of downtown when we wanted to. Annette's place was everything we would have wanted and more. We truly did not want to leave. We kept finding ourselves saying, "We are so lucky". At night, when we would come home, we would smile and let out a breath of release as we walked through our private garden entrance, lit by what I would say felt like "fairy lights". It was the perfect entrance to set the tone for us that it was time to relax from the excitement of the city. The space itself was more than comfortable. The living room was set up in a way that made us feel right at home. With Netflix and cable available and amenities provided to us for tea, hot chocolate, coffee/espresso, oatmeal, and breakfast bars we were able to settle in right away, and not worry about heading out for breakfast first thing in the morning. We were also provide a mini fridge and microwave, that allowed us to take our food home with us and enjoy it there. With the living rooms home-like feel, warm blankets and comfortable couch, we found ourselves lounging there often. Hotel rooms often feel stark and cold. Having this space made me feel like I truly living a San Francisco life, if just for the weekend. The bathroom was equally loved. It is large, spacious and stocked with bathroom amenities (q-tips, wipes, lotion, etc). My time spent in there made me realize how much love and effort Annette put into the space. It is clear that hosting is a passion for her, and is a gift that she shares very well. While Annette provided the "needs" just like a hotel, she also provided a much more personal touch, with soft towels, candles and beautiful decor. Annette's work and effort deserves all the praise. Our bedroom was also loved. It has beautiful natural light that opens up to the garden, if you choose. You are provided light block curtains to help sleeping in in the morning all the more easier. The decor is calming and serene. The bed was comfortable and warm. We were given extra blankets, heaters and fans. Anything that we could have needed was there. Annette and her husband were very kind and warm with us. We chatted briefly about our home being in Hawaii and my recent move back to the Bay Area. Being welcomed with a kind spirit meant a lot to us. All and...
