I stayed there for 8 nights during a conference and absolutely LOVED it. Michael and Eric are the most wonderful and gracious hosts. Thank so SO MUCH for making me feel at home!! :) Not only is the place gorgeous with its outdoor area full of flowers, and with the artful decorations, creative room design, and high ceilings in the main building, but it really feels like a vacation with so much positive energy and love in the air. Michael, Eric and Rita put much effort into making guests feel at home, and are perhaps the most detail-oriented and perceptive hosts I've ever had the pleasure of staying with. The location is great for getting around (on Saturdays there's a farmer's market in Little Italy, just 15 minutes away on foot - check it out). Some advice for travelers: The bay neighborhood is closer to the airport, so bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper (I am and I was totally fine). Also note that the Garden Room has a lower ceiling than the rooms in the main building, so if you're taller than 5'10 (or 1,80m), you might want to take a room in the main house. Otherwise it's perfect, and soothingly cool inside even when it's hot outside. Also: there are interesting people from all over the world visiting. Make some new friends while you're there! Over breakfasts in the kitchen, I had the luck of getting to know a young physician from France who was shooting a documentary about Ayurveda and integrative medicine in the U.S. We stayed in touch and met in person again when she traveled to New York this month! :) So keep your mind open, have a wonderful trip and enjoy!!
