"The initial property we booked to stay in was cancelled for some reason after we arrived. VRBO helped us find this location at short notice, and we were very pleased. The host was kind and responsive, and the property was clean and extremely secure, We found the beds very comfortable. There was easy access to the San Francisco airport and many restaurants available close to the property. One thing to note, the towels and washcloths were clean and plentiful, but they are a bit older. If that bothers you, you might want to consider bringing your own."
