Marianne is a fantastic hostess ! Her home is clean, warm and welcoming. She provided all sorts of travel information that we took advantage of. In addition, she left us breakfast food so that we didn't have to run out first thing our first morning. It was so appreciated. Having a garage was a great bonus as we used public transportation that was at the end of our block. The ocean is also only a block away. Easy on and easy off the highways after crossing the Golden Gate. This house is modern and bright. Did I mention the candy drawer? We highly recommend it.
