I will start by saying that during our week's stay we didn't turn on the television. The penthouse Is really a peaceful retreat, conducive to conversation and "just chillin'". Walking distance from grocery store, coffee shop, wine shop etc. we had it all a couple of blocks away. Noe Valley is quiet, so we slept well, a plus after long days in the city and day trips to Sonoma and Big Sur. We easily found parking on the days we rented a car as well. Truthfully, Alex's description of his property is right on and well worth the money. We had a great experience and will be returning next summer.
