Charming unique home

Positives: Lovely unique home with an amazing backyard garden space. Comfy beds. Close-enough to all of the high points of the city, without being right in all of it. Access to hiking trails literally across the street. Home/neighborhood felt very safe. 12 min walk to BART station. Good/prompt communication from the owner. Negatives: Located on a busy street; traffic could be heard throughout the night from the main/front bedroom. Parking in the private drive is a real challenge, particularly with a larger vehicle or during busy times of day (you have to back-in to the driveway, off the main street; you can alternatively park on the street). The kitchen is "vintage" which has a certain charm, but the oven (sticky knobs, need to manually light) and sink (touchy knobs, no disposal) were both a little finnicky, and there's not a lot of counter/prep space. Overall: we were pleased with the experience and would consider staying here again.
