Mary’s place is a gem of a find in the cutest San Francisco neighborhood with delicious coffee and breakfast from the friendly café that’s just a quick 2 block walk, to the sweet neighbors who speak and make you feel at home and let’s not forget the creative hub of great energy and artsy beauty in Mary’s home... The House Protects the Dreamer.... truly. I’m a writer who’d been a bit blocked and my stay in Mary’s cozy place inspired me into a creative flow that I hadn’t seen all year. The beds were comfortable, two living rooms gave options for moving around throughout the day with plenty of space to do my yoga, write and relax. Mary has wonderful books throughout the house and several personal artistic touches. I cannot forget to mention the delightful view and the wonderfully water efficient toilet! I was so enthralled by the house being green, comfortable and overflowing with creative energy. My daughter and I were more than comfortable and look forward to returning the next time we need to get a way to spark our creativity and feel at home away from home.
