Laurie and Rebecca were gracious hosts who did everything to make us feel warm (literally) and welcomed :) it was the first time my sis was in SF and didn't pack a suitable jacket. Laurie promptly loaned her a fleece and a coat. That was really nice. Laurie also made the heater available to us :D that was essential for us coming from the equator! The bed was comfy so we slept really well. The weather permitted us to have tea and snacks on the deck, surrounded by a nice garden :) thanks for having us :) we enjoyed ourselves very much in your very beautiful house!
