Top marks across the board! A hearty hoozah and hurray to our hosts extraordinaire, Doug and Richard!

On behalf of the both of us, thank you so much for opening up to us your lovely home, a wonderful little retreat during our SF stay. We could not have asked for a better place to stay the week (nor could we have asked for better weather, so kudos to whichever weather gods you consulted prior to our arrival).

Everything was exactly as described on the site, perfect for a couple or two plutonic friends like yours truly. Bed was super comfy--we're both pretty sure we fell asleep within about 2.2 seconds (Beth's estimate) most nights after crashing onto the bed (Art never even had the chance to change into jammy jams). We were also pleasantly surprised with the neighborhood beyond the Painted Ladies of Full House fame. The number of parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and other fun sites within walking distance was fantastically flabbergasting. And Alamo Square is an amazing little patch of green, from which you can see all around the city...and in which you can play with other's people's dogs.

But truly it's the little things that can't be encapsulated in airbnb photos or profiles that truly made the stay memorable, like the smell of home cooking through the house on most days, or the selection of mantlepiece literature for those like Beth in the process of reawakening to Buddhism and Babs (Streisand). Our favorite part of the day in the house was breakfast in the dining room--couldn't imagine a better way to start the morning than eating Doug's freshly baked muffin (we ain't bluffin').

For those seriously considering this place, our only realistic comment is that it's probably not the best place people who don't like cats since these little cute and cuddly furballs love to spend time with guests, especially the one called Blue (his tummy is starving for some good rubbin' day and night). [Beth: I miss your friendly kitties already, especially Mr. Blu (aka the friendliest cat on the planet). Blu was quite the companion during our stay. If you didn't love him so much, we would've stowed him away in our suitcase to take home. Also, we just wouldn't have had room in the suitcase for Blue anyways since the French bulldog we dognapped from Alamo Square was already crammed in there. (Note: Art is author of last line, which is meant in jest only....)

We would definitely stay here again!
