Melanie was a very gracious and welcoming host. She had just returned from a trip herself, yet managed to get all the linens changed and the room spotless. Her home is absolutely lovely, and located in a very quiet, yet convenient neighborhood. We enjoyed being near the ocean. Close enough to walk to Golden Gate Park, or Lands End. She let us park in her drive, which was a big help. The suite is, as described, cozy, yet comfortable. The recently remodeled bath is tiny but well thought out, with lovely finishes. Melanie made every effort to provide a special experience, from making drip or espresso coffee, a cup of tea, and a beautiful fruit plate, as well as providing Pellegrino and chocolates in the room, quality linens and nice toiletries in the bath. We didn't spend a lot of time there, since we were attending a music festival, but Melanie was friendly and ready to chat, while giving us ample opportunity to rest and recharge on our own. It's easy to see why she has many long-term guests!
