I look forward to returning to this lovely place. It was clean, comfortable, and mostly quiet, except for some traffic sounds and occasional sirens. As someone who is pretty sensitive to noise, I can say that I wasn't distracted and got a fair amount of work done. There were only a couple of glitches. I had to move the desk and chair out of the closet and move the frig and TV table to get my workspace set up. At one point I could hear a phone conversation from the next room, and that left me feeling that I didn't have a lot of privacy for my calls. Other than that, it was a good stay. I relished the peace and quiet and beauty of the back yard. Oh, and if you want to avoid the 72 steps down to Pacific St. and the downtown area, you can walk west to Emmet St. and then down the Mission St. hill.
