Ken and Richard greeted us on arrival . They went out of their way to give us information and make sure we were comfortable. They are charming, friendly guys - it was always nice to see them. The cottage is exactly as described - it is charming, cozy, private and quiet. It has a little deck and overlooks the beautiful lush garden. This is an interesting, vibrant neighbourhood that would be of particular interest to seasoned travellers who want an authentic, local experience while still close to transit. As it happens we were travelling by car. They have a nice little off-street parking pad. The airport was an easy 15 minute drive and it was also surprisingly easy to get to the Golden Gate Bridge and points north by driving down Van Ness To Lombard. Highly recommended.
