Such a lovely sanctuary with a helpful and generous hostess! We watched goldfinches flit in the birdbath and garden with Buddha peering through the leaves. We used the hot tub on sunny days and starry nights. The cute town with good restaurants (Geraldine's - great for breakfast!) was an easy walk and there was lots of convenient public transportation to different points in the city. There was a long city park a block away and Seward Park with its redwoods and water a short bus ride away.
The cottage was small but light-filled and pretty. We were writing in the mornings so spent quite a bit of time there.
