We loved our stay. All staff we encountered were kind and helpful. We felt very safe during our stay. They even stored our luggage for us after we checked out, so that we could continue exploring until we had to leave for the airport.

We stayed four nights and had a spacious room with a fireplace. The building and decorations were a bit dated but the bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Quirky and safe place! Wonderful b and b experience. It's a bit loud outside in street due to bars. so you'll want to keep the windows closed.

This is truly a hidden gem in SF. It felt more like home away from home, instead of a hotel. The wine and cheese and breakfast were both wonderful, but the fireplace in the room was the best touch. I will definitely rebook!
