We were a bit nervous about renting a home in someone's space and sharing a bathroom (usually we rent a whole place to ourselves), but Tara provided a cozy, clean space and clear instructions to give guests maximum freedom, comfort, and privacy in her home. We were not bothered by the busy street and airplane noises, but Tara provided ear plugs and a white noise machine, in addition to extra blankets and a heater if we got cold.

Kitchen and bathroom supplies are clearly labeled, and each guest gets one refrigerator shelf and a kitchen cubby to him or herself, which works great for those of us who like to cook some of our meals at home (and eat them on her beautiful back porch).
She supplied freshly ground coffee and a well-equipped kitchen, and she mapped out the nearest grocery stores to her home, including the health food co-op just three blocks away. She generously provides bikes as part of the rental, and Ocean Beach is just a five-minute walk away!
