Had a great time.

This very spacious, beautiful, stand-alone, private guest house is a calm oasis at the top of a hill. Overlooking the main house, one does not feel any issues of privacy. The owners have gone through great lengths to provide everything a guest would need. Every detail is thoughtful and one feels very well taken care of upon arrival. Some notable & beautiful elements: a wrap around deck, the lovely artwork, giant marble countertops, a big portable speaker, every kitchen gadget you can think of, plus the super, fun ambient lighting on the inside and out, the indoor fireplace, heater and the outdoor fire pit. Last but not least the most epic and stunning views of the bay, SF and the surrounding cities with colorful & vibrant sunsets that change every 10 minutes, every night!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The area and view was breathtaking. The most important things such as, bedding and toiletries could use lots of improvement. Bedding was horrible, old blankets and pillows. Pillows were horrible.. Bed was pretty hard. Futon was very hard also. Towels and wash cloths were the worst I’ve ever used in a rental. The smell on the towels were horrible. The wash cloths were dark in color with bleach stains. I could not believe this beautiful rental lacked so much in blankets, and towels. The towels did not even wrap around my body, they were so little and OLD!!!
