The interior of the cottage had a more luxurious feeling than I expected to have, with new and great appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher), marble countertops, fluffy towels&blankets, plants, and a very comfortable king-size bed. The little garden out in the front is such a nice addition with a complete a zen feeling to it (appreciated the lemon tree and the little Buddha statue there =) ). The inside of the apt is a little on the darker side during the day unless you open all the blinds, but it was still pretty pleasant and the garden out in the front makes up for it. Parking on the street was free and generally easy--may need drive a little further out on the street cleaning days. It is a very close drive to the 24th street too where you have some restaurants, Whole Foods, nice coffee shops etc. There is also a Safeway nearby. Above all, Reema is a great host and makes sure that you feel comfortable during your stay.
