We were a large group and the house was perfect for us! The living room/kitchen area was open and spacious which made it ideal for children (ages 1.5-15 years) to hang out. The littles ran around and the olders played cards at the table. We celebrated a chilly, rainy Christmas indoors and didn't drive each other crazy. We had everything we needed. The private garage was a luxury in the rain. Plus, it was large enough for our Highlander with a Thule box. Alena was extremely responsive and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again the next time we're in the SF area.
