The place was as cute as the pictures! Looked like the unit had been built recently. It is in a great location being close to everything in North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf! Yet it was on a relatively quiet street! We didn't use the courtyard since it was ons of the coldest windiest days of the year! The only complaint was it took an hour to warm the unit up! Ellen was the perfect host! Showed us the unit then retired to her unit two floors above! We would definetly consider returning to her unit! Five star rating!!
