The host's description of the "stunning canyon view" is not hyperbole. From inside or the outside patio, the view is lovely. The location is ideal for Noe Valley and other neighborhoods around Glen Canyon Park. The opportunity for hiking in the park is excellent and 200 yards down the street. And, the shopping center is also 200 yards away by foot down one of San Francisco's little hidden staircases, but completely hidden from view and on a different street and auto route; we would have been unaware it was there except that the host describes it. We sought it out for breakfast at the bakery, purchasing snacks at the grocery, and mailing postcards at the post office. The check-in and -out were perfect and easy. Finally, the host keeps the unit spotless.
