The house and the neighborhood are really great! You enter through a precious little seating area- with a nice eucalyptus tree. nearby is a nice valley with coffeeshops and organic supermarket! it is also good to visit by car and only a short drive to san franciscos main attractions. the room is around the laundry corner which means you can hear the machines sometimes. but all in all it was a valuable stay and a very quite retreat to stay for a city trip! thanks ava for having us!!
