Rachel's lovely cottage was a lovely home base for my family on our vacation. Up the hill from Noe, we had magnificent views every time we ventured out into the neighborhood, which was quiet and extremely friendly. The essentials were nearby, and the Muni 35 took us down to Castro and Market many days.

The house feels like a big wooden ship or a treehouse — warm and full of light, with a quirky layout and plenty of amenities. Rachel was a phenomenal host, making us feel right at home and taking care of the odd request or question. Overall, our stay was like an AirBnB commercial — just bring good walking shoes and be prepared for the hills!
