We loved spending 5 nights in the ‘penthouse’ - the 3rd level of Alison’s house. Up high as we were, we had a lovely view of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge - exactly as shown on the website. The hike up two sets of stairs was definitely worth it. The room was more spacious than we expected, as was the complete lack of city noise. The bed was perfect for us (a little on the firm side, which we prefer) and the marble bathroom with its skylight was lovely. Alison is a great host and we definitely recommend staying with her.
