We had a wonderful stay at Irene's house. It is a beautiful place, immaculately clean, and very comfortable. There is a very pretty patio in the back that was in full bloom during our visit. We weren't familiar with Noe Valley but found it to be a lovely neighborhood. The house is across the street from a little park and walking distance to Noe Valley Bakery which was so good we visited it twice! Street parking was plentiful. We actually always parked directly in front of the house. Irene could not have been a better host. She met us upon our arrival and left fresh flowers for us to enjoy. We had an incident where water was cut off to the house at 11 pm. My brother texted Irene and she immediately contacted the city to find that there had been a water main break in the area and let us know what was going on. We would highly recommend this house for anyone staying in San Francisco. We loved our stay!
