For us, the location was situated perfectly. We came by car, and all the things we had planned to see, were situated within perfect driving range. Parking in SFO can be expensive, but we were lucky to find the cheaper spots easily. The room next to the garden was nice. We were not accustomed to sharing a bathroom, but in practice it worked out fine. Since our hosts were out of town when we arrived, we were welcomed by Lucy, who led us around.
