By a stroke of harmony, we met our affable host right after uploading our luggage to the Cream Room. One of my passions is preservation of historical buildings, so when Michael took us on the Grand Tour of house and gardens, I learned how passionate he is as well. I wanted to be like Goldilocks and sit in every chair, of which there are more than may be counted with all the great indoor and outdoor rooms/areas, sleep in every bedroom (especially Tree house room), and use every one of the kitchen cookware, tools and knives. But alas, we had our room and it was just right. Slept comfortably each night and I appreciated the private bathroom in our bedroom. We ate at one of the diners, Hob Nob Hill for breakfast and it is very close. The area is fun, vibrant, and easily accessible from the house. We had a car and parking is found fairly easily. Husband walked to Balboa Park and all around the area. It is a healthy dose of peace.
