Our family of 4 stayed at Carol's for 5 nights. She has garage space for a car. While we didn't need it, I imagine free parking could be helpful to many guests. We enjoyed having a light and bright living/dining space for hanging out, especially on cloudy summer days in San Francisco. I really appreciated how easy communication was with Carol; she always replied promptly. We only ate breakfast there, but the kitchen is well supplied if you want to do more extensive cooking.
