This was like staying at your favorite eclectic sister's home while she was out. Very easy to settle in and use the space. In a residential neighborhood; Ground floor, so no steps up to get in, which was great for my husband who just had neck surgery. Not much exploring to be done in the immediate neighborhood, but LOTS of ethnic restaurants. Neighborhood felt very safe. I took the local bus in to the center of town; this is SF, and some bus routes go through some sketchy areas, as expected.
Owner very easy to communicate with. Beautiful front garden where I could sit and drink coffee or read.
