This place is very spacious with plenty of room for a family to stay. If you plan on cooking you will need to buy or bring all that with you. it has pots pans and utensils but nothing like spices,oil etc. Location was close to drive to fishermans Wharf or golden gate Bridge. everywhere is a 30 min drive. The only thing I would change is there is a very loud clock in the living room, it goes off every half hour. If you are a light sleeper it will wake you up alot.
