Ed's Noe Valley cottage was excellent. The cottage is very nice, having clearly been recently renovated. The space is big and having a bathroom on each floor was convenient. I was a little worried about the setup before booking, however, the cottage is super private as a stand alone building with a truly private entrance. On top of it all, Ed was an excellent host, responding to questions promptly, leaving excellent directions, and checking in with us via text to make sure everything was going well. And, although he lives next door, we didn't run into Ed once, as he made sure to give us our privacy throughput the stay. Lastly, the neighborhood is really nice, quiet but close to restaurants and bars, and the J line is right outside the apartment (which can take you right into the heart of the city). I highly recommend Ed's cottage.
