We appreciated the welcome "notes" and the notebook full of useful information. The cottage was so well represented on Kevin's website -- it's as charming as it looks and very well equipped. We ate breakfast and two dinners there and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The mattress was very kind to our aging backs and we hung out a lot in the dining room with the cheery California sun streaming in the windows. The Steinbeck Cottage was an important positive factor in our marvelous week-long stay in San Francisco. Thanks Kevin!
