This place is a gem, part of visiting a new city for me is feeling like I’m part of it.
Joanne’s place is nestled back in a quaint neighborhood just to the east of the Zoo. My sister and I were absolutely enthralled at the homely room we stayed in as well as where it was in the community.
The neighborhood is nice and like any city, you’ll occasionally see groups hanging around on one of the corners. Don’t worry most likely looking for work due to the paint store! Five to six minute walk to Metro for ease of travel and there is an amazing Thai place next door.
Besides that the amenities were excellent , Joanne and her husband were very attentive and helpful, even turning up the heat a bit for us in the cold.
Fresh towels, coffee, and solid amenities. She checked in occasionally throughout our stay without being intrusive, rather was a very nice touch.
Having lived in San Francisco, I can tell you I’d definitely stay here again. Why stay at a hotel when you can feel like part of the community? This stands as an excellent way to experience, more intimately, our nation’s beautiful capitol.
