Marianne was amazing! She went so far above and beyond expectation to make us feel welcome and make our stay wonderful! She provided breakfast foods (yum!), information on things to do in the area, a clean and well-stocked home, and met us there to show us around when we arrived! The house was the perfect size for our group of 5. We loved how close we were to the beach and Golden Gate park, as well as how close we were to the N line to head in to town. Having parking provided at the house was also great! I will definitely try to stay with her again and would recommend Marianne and her house to anyone I know looking to stay in the SF area. We weren't bothered at all by being outside the city center. Being at the end of the N line meant we ALWAYS got seats for our ride in. We got the 3-day unlimited use MUNI passes and used google maps to navigate around. It was a lot of fun! Marianne also had beach blankets and everything you could need there at the house. We had a fabulous trip!
