Earl was extremely hospitable, helpful, and the accommodations were great. Take a stroll around Golden Gate Park right next door (literally one block away from De Young) and frequent lots of great restaurants nearby or my personal favorite coffee shop, The Blue Danube (write in their journal that has entries all the way back to 1997!). The room was spacious, comfy, clean, and the little chocolates at my entry gave that extra tranquility that a vacationer sorely needs.
