Al's home was a very pleasant and cozy retreat indeed while we were looking for a permanent place in the city. Street parking was fairly easy to find most days and Al was super responsive. While it is up/down a steep hill, the view is pretty unbeatable! The other perk of being on a hill is that at night it's very quiet so even though the bedrooms are facing the street, noise was not an issue at all. The kitchen was a bit lacking but we were able to do most everyday cooking just fine, and otherwise we did food delivery with no problem. It's a 15 min walk to the shops/restaurants on the main strip in Potrero. The house is also very close to Starr King Open Space for a nice 'nature walk' that provides a great view of the city. I would recommend Al's place for anyone needing a quiet getaway or retreat from busy city life.
