This charming old house in the Mission district has everything you could need: wonderful architecture (especially the very beautiful paint job in all the rooms), loads of towels and kitchen equipment, heavenly beds, two living rooms and plenty of character. Shelagh and her daughter Jan live in the building, so they were always on hand and responsive. The location is great, about midway between Market Street and 16th/Mission BART so you can get anywhere you want in the city. Tons of restaurants, bars, little groceries, and an incredible food market called Bi-Right, with beautiful produce, meats, prepared foods, flowers, etc. A couple things to mention: the shower (in an old-fashioned bathtub) is a little bit hard to get into and out of, especially for older folks, and there is nothing to hold on to. Also, the door between the big bedroom and the kitchen is partly made of open slats, so if someone is sleeping and someone else is cooking, it could be a problem. Also, you do hear sounds from upstairs, walking, television and two mornings, an unusual sound above the big bedroom that seemed like someone was vacuuming or playing with a dog at 5 - 6 am. These issues can be solved by bringing ear plugs or a noise-reducing headset, but it is worth mentioning for those that might be extra sensitive to this. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
