At first, I was not aware of the location, what the neighborhood would be like however, once we got there we found out that the area is very luxurious, peaceful and quiet. It had many small cafes and restaurants around the area ( we loved the blue bottle coffee, some chinese local restaurant, shops etc.), Hillsdale shopping center is just minutes away which has a really nice atmoshphere and fun stores. We visited San Francisco 2 days in a row and it only took us about 20-25 minutes drive which was better than we expected. The house had everything we needed in order to cook for my kids and my 30 month old boy just loved our host. He would run to her every morning not wanting to leave with us for the touring, which we found really hilarious. We would definitely come back to this place!
