This was my first experience with Airbnb and I could not be happier! Helen was a wonderful host, and made my friends and I feel extremely comfortable in her guest house. When the description says "cozy," it means exactly that and more. It is such a wonderful little place to stay in. So tastefully done, and extremely well equipped with everything you might need.

Helen gave us very clear directions and was very considerate about our check-in since we had a late flight in to San Francisco. She wasn't at home but called me to make sure I knew how to get there. We found the guest house without any difficulty, and were immediately taken in by its quiet comfort. In the night we sat down on the small porch out front, and gazed up at the night sky. It was the perfect getaway after a busy week. Helen came by to check on us in the morning and she was so sweet and warm. It was a pleasure to meet her, and she gave us good tips about places to visit, and eat at. She also has a great set of books that we would have loved to peruse but for the fact that we had to leave that morning, which was a shame!

I would love to stay at Helen's when I'm in the area again, and am extremely grateful for a wonderful first experience with Airbnb! Who needs hotels when you have great hosts like Helen?
