Carol's home is very welcoming. She is kind and open. I had a great experience. The rooms is spotless clean and provides enough closet space. The bathroom is shared with another room. I was lucky and the couple staying in the other room were very clean. Carol has a hairy funny cat and a puppy indoors. But despite am not used to animals, it was easy to manage. If you have allergy maybe not good idea. If you expect a modern organized kitchen it is not the case. This is a home kitchen, used on a daily basis. I dont cook so it was ok with me. The other couple cooked and seemed happy. Finally, location is great! I loved walking to Castro street every morning. The room is quiet and the neighborhood clean, cute and safe.
