We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to stay at Heather's home. The best things about it:

1. Heather's warm and welcoming hospitality - she clearly has put a lot of thought and care into preparing a lovely space for guests. There really is everything you would need and more with a kitchen, den area, very comfortable bed (slept better than I have in a long time!), and beautiful garden and patio area. We looked forward to coming back to our cozy space after our activities!
2. Location - the beach is only a few steps away and you have the benefit of staying in a neighborhood, eating and shopping where the locals do. We loved the local bakery Devil's Teeth for breakfast and coffee and Noriega Produce for supplying snacks and additional breakfast foods. Popular tourist attractions are close by as well. We went to Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown - all within a reasonable distance.

Staying here made our short college visit/vacation more special for us!
