We enjoyed our stay in Cozy Mission Retreat. The kitchen is great and we loved the little sitting room, and it is wonderful to be able to sit out also. It is small and cosy and perfectly adequate for our stay. It is very centrally located, near the Bart, buses and downtown. Ken and Richard welcomed us and were more than happy to let us know whatever we wanted. We tried different places to eat and loved many of the dining places on/of Valencia street, especially the Italian Restaurent called Farina, on 18th Steet, and the little 'We Be Sushi' place on Valencia. 'Tacolicious' is delicious, and so is Wise Sons Delicatessen- perfect for breakfast. What wasn't great for us was the Bart station has a lot of street people around it, and many on Mission Street- and while this is so - they were so helpful and friendly,- no hassle at all. Once we got used to this we loved the location. We are delighted we stayed here...it was certainly an inner city experience....
