Jennifer Lee is a very thoughtful, caring, and -- BTW -- talented young individual. There are three pianos in her home, and one of them is kept in the room we stayed in. Upon learning that I am (somewhat of) a composer, she provided blank staff paper for me to compose on while there. When she heard us play a Debussy piece on our CD player, she played it in a way that we could hear her through the wall, and her interpretation was the best I've ever heard!

As advertised, her place is near the beach and (did she mention this?) the San Francisco Zoo. It is within 20-25 minutes of the UCSF Parnassus campus, as well as Golden Gate Park and its many attractions -- including the California Academy of Science, among several others. Unless you are a financial district junkie (e.g., Montgomery Street) or love the commercially overwrought Fishermans Wharf, no interesting place is more than 30 minutes from her place. The beach if a few blocks away, offering a drive along the Great Highway north and around scenic Point Lobos, thence into town. Mass transit is about a block away.

We made some suggestions for improving the "experience" in her place, and she was very open to hearing them. The only two issues we had pertain primarily to old farts such as we: parking and heat. It is very difficult to find a place to park if you return to her place after about 8 p.m. If you don't own a small car such as a Prius (ours), I don't know what you'll find in the way of parking, but it won't be easy. The only other issue, heat, resulted from the fact that you have no control over it other than to call Jennifer and request more heat if you are too cold. We discussed the possibility of making a space heater available. She may adopt that solution.

Jennifer wants to please her customers, and you will be pleased to meet her. As time goes on, I believe hers will become on of the top-rated AirB&B facilities. If you are undaunted by the possibility that you may have to park a few blocks away -- and the street parking is FREE, which is worth a lot in San Francisco -- then you should give her spacious, clean, well-kept facility a go.
