Great staff, very friendly and service minded. Nice shift from Vegas the nights before! However, the place feels like most $ were spent on the outside. If you like antiques it is probably OK but I like good design with great function and that wasn't found here. Afternoon wine and snacks is great and we never had issues with parking (arrived around 5 pm). It does not live up to the "hype" on this forum.

If you are a history buff, this place will knock your socks off. It's truly like walking into the late 1800's! Everything from the furniture, the antiques, amazing architecture, intricate paint jobs/wall paper, friendly staff, and pure history makes this place so uniquely set apart from any other experience you will ever find. I felt like I was living out a childhood fantasy staying here!

Tips:
1. Bring earplugs- the windows/walls are old, thus the noise levels of the hustle and bustle outside can be pretty loud. To make sure you get a good night sleep, bring those earplugs.

2. Hunt for parking and pay attention to those local parking laws- Given that you are in San Fran, just be prepared for parking to be difficult anywhere you go. Luckily, this place has free parking, but it's not always easy to find. Just be mindful of street sweeping. The street sweeping is weekly and is different for either sides of the street.

3. Take the time to go to some of the local restaurants- The restaurant where you can eat in the dark is only .6 mi away from the BB. Also, my boyfriend surprised me and took me to a French place only 2 mi away and it was the best dinner we'd both ever had.

4. If you enjoy history- take the time to get to know the history behind the name on your door. The rooms all have names engraved on their doors named after people who've stayed in the BB. Ours was Isadora Duncan, a famous Opera Singer/Actress from the early 1900's.

Great breakfast! Bagels and lox, amazing coffee (the good stuff), super friendly staff, lovely little place.

UpUpon entering the house, we were a little taken aback with the decor. The furnishings are in definite need of an update and the pictures and statues throughout the house were a bit odd. Once we got over the initial surprise, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. My biggest complaint is the parking situation. We arrived late at night and there was not a parking space available for blocks. Being unfamiliar with the area, we were unable to locate the parking garage a few blocks away and ended up parking in an area that I would not suggest walking through. I would suggest when reservations are made that an area map is included with the confirmation.

Fantastic B&B in a great location in San Francisco. Easy to access public transport, taxis, etc. The rooms are beautifully decorated with period pieces and the inn is gorgeous. The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and are extremely helpful with recommendations. The weekend brunch/breakfast is fantastic! Just returned from a trip with 2 other friends and we will be back!! 5 Stars Plus!
