I never met Noreen, but I feel like I did because she was such a responsive and gracious host. Getting in and departing was very easy, and she has set up her home to accommodate guests (i.e. all potential questions are answered in a binder, all of a guests needs are met). This home was more beautiful and bigger than I expected (even with the amazing photos). The bed we slept in was divine, the heater provided plenty of immediate heat to keep the place very cozy, the living room was lovely to relax in, the kitchen had everything you may need, and the shower is great! All bases covered. This is a quiet neighborhood, and as such, one should consider Noreen's home as you would your own - it's not a place for late nights or parties as one should be respectful of neighbors. Noreen requests that guests maintain a level of quiet which I hope we achieved.

This is a cute neighborhood. Pizzetta near by has only a few tables and fantastic Italian, there is a small market with higher end healthy foods, a little cafe and a coffee shop all within a couple of blocks. I walked to the coast a couple of times (about 40 minutes) which is a great stroll if you're up for it! You must go out towards the Cliff House either way as is easily one of the prettiest areas in SF with coastal trails and views. Finally, you will be a drive from a lot of SF, but Lyft and Uber were never more than a few minutes away and very reliable.
