Rachel is a wonderful host, and her family and friends are delightful to meet. The cottage is very close (5-10 min walk) to parks and to the restaurants and shops along 24th Street. Public transportation is also nearby, which we used to get to the Ferry Building and all points around town. The home is clean and very comfortable. Rachel and her family live in the front house (the cottage is the back house), and she was always responsive and ready with any assistance or help. The neighborhood is gorgeous. We loved our stay.
