Lagoon Front Living in SF Bay Area

Ann (And Emanuel)Rating, 5 stars1 month ago

Gabriele is an accomplished artist and an animal lover. The apartment is replete with art on the walls and on the shelves. There are many many interesting books. The kitchen is very well equipped and the views from the lovely breakfast nook are wonderful. (Be careful or you’ll just want to stay in and read!) We appreciated the detailed instructions for using the appliances. And best of all, everything worked! We enjoyed this place immensely.

Large Cottage Near SF, Beach, Airport w/ Backyard

AnnRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We felt right at home; simply and amply appointed. It was surprisingly spacious for a one bedroom and easily accommodated four adults. The outdoor garden space was perfect for evening and morning relaxation. The sign of a GREAT host is how they handle an accidental (major) breakage. As guests, we were mortified. Diana was absolutely gracious. Thank you for your understanding, Diana.
