The location is great! This property is unique - very pretty inside! Great breakfast. The room is small and the bed is small. Only two people can fit in this room! But it worked for us and we had a view of the Golden Gate bridge from our room on a higher floor. Also - no tv in room.

If you like looking at historic property this is the place. If you are looking for a quiet get away without distractions this is the place. You can hear the other showers on the other floors and the vacuums through the floors. The pool is ok, swimming at night is a bit spooky.
