The basement studio was clean and bright in the morning/early afternoon. Emily was a very nice host - and let me leave my bags a little early so that I didn't have to drag them around town.
The location is a bit hard to get to, but both cabs I called were able to find it ok. I love all of the stairs in the neighborhood and hiking up and down the hills was lovely.
My only complaint was the road noise - can be a little intense from 101.
