Our vacation was perfect thanks to Karyns home. We had everything we needed for our family of 5. We felt like locals in the neighborhood. Walking to Simple Pleasures for morning coffee, seeing Wonder Woman at the Balboa Theater, walking to Golden Gate park and feeding the fish and birds bread at Spreckles Lake, biking/walking down to the Sutra Baths and shopping at the produce market. We traveled by the Muni bus system (a 7 day pass is $42 a person) with the exception of renting a car to drive to Sausilito and Muir Beach and Woods for a day. I love older homes and Karyns did not disappoint, so much character! (Check out the cool little chair that pulls down from the wall at the top of the stairs) Makiko was there to greet us and answered any questions we had. The downstairs bath and bedroom was perfect for my husband and myself. Our 18 y/o daughter stayed in the full bed upstairs and our boys, (ages 17 & 13) stayed in the room with the twin beds. We cooked outside on the deck twice, the backyard is a darling sanctuary. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat! If you get stuck on how to turn on the upstairs shower, you have to pull down on the water spout after turning it on. It took us awhile to figure that out lol. We also saw the Haight/Ashbury district, Painted Ladies, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Fishermans Wharf and Lombard Street. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home Karyn!
