Penny's home is a very beautiful and unique place with a lot of character. - Her photos totally don't do it justice! The furniture is tasteful and artistic. The high ceilings & skylights, large windows, combined with balcony give it a lovely light airy feel, especially in the mornings.
Penny was always kind and attentive to all of our needs. She is incredibly professional and made sure everything was supplied - all amenities are v. well stocked & though we preferred to eat out and explore the city every day, using her place as a base, we always found it a comfortable home to return to at the end of a long day. Definitely recommend too if you want to cook in, or even just have a small cold meal on the balcony because there is a good dishwasher and plenty of kitchen utensils available.
The apartment is set on a steep hill with beautiful views overlooking the city. You can get good views from one of the bedrooms too, while the other faces out over the balcony, & both have plenty of storage space.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge if you don't have a compact car which fits on her driveway, but we usually managed to work something out!

Bernal Heights is an interesting area to explore with some eclectic restaurants to try if you prefer not to wander further downtown, and a Safeway within walking distance for supplies. This particular part of the neighborhood was very pretty and well-kept and we would highly recommend staying with Penny who is a wonderful host.
Thanks so much Penny, we really enjoyed our visit!
