Property manager was a dream to communicate with. The location was perfect for me, and the unit provided a detailed map of the area with suggested restaurants within walking distance. The unit was well appointed, very clean and adorable. No winery- not sure why the review asks about a winery. If you have a need for a place to stay near SFO/S.San Francisco, this is a great spot. Very quiet, be prepared for hilly parking.

Such a cute place! Parking spaces were limited but we didn’t have any trouble finding a spot. I’m not sure I ever truly experienced San Francisco hills before on foot. 😅 Amazing parks (for bird watching) and amazing food nearby. Just be aware of the hills.
