The hosts were warm, welcoming and very sweet. But for me, this was not a great choice. There was a phone in the adjacent living room that woke me up the first morning. I unplugged it. It woke up me up again the next morning. On my 3rd evening I returned to an overpowering scent of cat excrement. There is a large window above the bed that faces east so the morning sun is extremely bright, even with the shade drawn. You may want to know that the space is near Buena Vista Park, which sits at 575 ft of elevation. Walking back from Haight or Divisidero (the nearest civilization) is a 30 minute uphill walk. So, if you love cats, getting up early and you have an automobile (or enjoy strenuous hikes), this might be perfect for you. It was not for me.
