The view! Oh my. That deck with the strings of lights, comfy seating, and unparalleled view is worth it's weight in gold. The street itself is very quiet and peaceful, and even though the J streetcar passes directly behind the house, it creates little noise--just a low hum--like the wind. Both of my kids slept like rocks while we were there. Also, you can board that streetcar just three doors down, which is super convenient. The house is an old Victorian, which means it is loaded with character (and also a bit musty). The master bedroom and kitchen have both been wonderfully updated. The water pressure is the best I have ever experienced--I wish I could take that shower home with me! Dolores Park is just a couple of blocks away--with an amazing new playground! We had a great time.
