The moment that you walk through the garden and see the pond with koi swimming around says it all! The cottage is large enough to feel like there is a place for everything and yet feels cozy at the same time. There are large windows that we left open for a wonderful San Fran breeze and a small patio to sit and have a cup of coffee on! The bed was super comfortable. In short , Annie provides an oasis in a busy city and we look forward to coming back!
