Fantastic space in the middle of a nice neighborhood in the city. Once you drive into the cobblestone courtyard, it feels like you are suddenly in an authentic village in Tuscany Italy (except the arbors overflow with 80 year old giant fushia plants rather than grapevines).
We were also surprised and pleased at the fully stocked kitchen. The bedroom is small (as expected in SF, and totally worth the space they used to put in a separate kitchen!) but cozy with a good mattress and quality furniture. The bathroom was clean, nicely remodeled, and had a stall shower with good water pressure.
The inclusion of parking (inside an enclosed garage no less!!!!) is a huge perk. The garage space is below the accommodations, so it is good to know that you will need to be capable of climbing a standard flight of somewhat steep stairs in order to access your room. But, this also insures that there is no chance of noisy neighbors above or below you!
We were traveling with our dog, and as anyone who travels with a pet knows, it can be hard to find places that permit dogs to accompany their family, especially in cities like SF. The staff at this inn are extremely conscientious about trying to find the right balance between providing an option for families traveling with pets (we cannot board our dog because she is epileptic and has seizures triggered by the stress of boarding, but she is used to traveling and does fine if she comes along with us). The management has a few very reasonable rules, such as needing to crate your dog if they are left alone in the room, and providing contact info if you do leave your pet unattended so that they can contact you if there is any problem. They do take a deposit in case any damage occurs, and there is a reasonable pet fee for the extra cleaning they must do to insure that future guests have a room without odor or pet hair. All of their rules were appropriate, and were things that responsible pet owners should be doing anyway, out of courtesy for other guests who do not want to hear prolonged barking or howling. The staff really went out of their way to make it possible for those traveling with a dog to have a pleasant, comfortable space while also making sure that the other guests, without pets, would also have a pleasant stay.
I will most definitely return to this inn when I return to SF for a business trip in the summer. The location is central, with access to many great restaurants within easy walking distance, as well as the beautiful pathways of the Presedio only a couple blocks away. Anyone who appreciates a beautifully integrated garden into a tastefully old-world inn-type vibe, will be very happy with this space.
