We loved this house and it was bigger than anticipated. It had extra amenities like 2 master bedroom closets (more like 2 small extra rooms!) and a very large workout room that we used as a 3rd bedroom connected to the 1/2 bath. The drive to San Francisco (20-30 minutes) for tourist activities was fairly easy to go back and forth. I would suggest staying here and not at a place in San Francisco-it is well worth the extra drive time to stay in this fantastic home. The neighborhood felt very safe and was quiet. There are beaches close by and beautiful hiking trails in the area (from the house you can see lovely mountain and ocean views). By far the best thing was Shannon, who was an amazing host!! She responded very quickly to any inquiry and was very thoughtful in what to supply the house with for her guests (everything you need is provided like kitchen spices/supplies, beach towels, shampoo, games, laundry detergent, etc). This was one of our favorite places to stay.
