My wife and I stayed at Lisa's place for three nights. The primary reason we chose it was because of its proximity to our son and his girlfriend, who live in Bernal Heights. It was clean, spacious and well furnished, and allowed us to relax alone at times. Lisa even provides an umbrella, which we needed, and a plastic bag for groceries. Cortland Avenue is delightful commercial street, with an excellent bakery two blocks away and a nice coffee place another block further. Also, for exercise buffs, the top of Bernal Heights has a non-traffic road around it excellent for jogging/walking. The only caveat is that there is a bit of traffic noise on Cortland, probably not too noticeable if you are from an urban area. Even though we are from a perfectly quiet suburban area, I would not hesitate to stay there again.
