What a gem! This little cottage is in a residential area tucked off the street behind the owner's home. There's parking on the street for those with a car and nearby public transportation options for folks like me. While the neighborhood is very hilly, the walk to the Glen Park BART station and multiple MUNI Bus Stops is flat and only about 10 minutes (63-year-old with iffy knees time). Glen Park is a very central location. I was able to easily get everywhere on public transportation. If you load the MUNI app on your phone you can find routes and buy fares quickly. The little area around the BART station has a surprisingly lot to offer. You can get wonderful coffee and pastries at several spots and there's a friendly local pub. My favorite find was The Canyon Market one block down from the BART Station. It has an amazing array of foods and drinks. I'm talking fresh, really good stuff!!! If you are planning a picnic or want to have a quiet morning or evening at the cottage, you'll be pleased with selections from Canyon Market.
When I said the location is central that does not mean you'll walk out the door and hit the sites without transportation. The elevation is pretty high and it gets windy and chilly in the evening. The cottage is not centrally heated, but has a space heater. The bed and bedding were exceptionally cozy and the cottage was very quiet. Eddie provided a generous supply of coffee pods, bottled water and a basket of snacks. Eddie is available quickly if you need anything, but otherwise lies low.
The microwave and fridge were next to dresser in the main room and the glass shower stall was part of the room. The toilet was in an enclosed space. Not much privacy, so be comfortable with your travel companion! If the sun is out, there's a lovely green area to sit out and journal or plan your day with a cup of coffee or tea. I'll definitely be returning to Eddie's oasis on Congo Street!
