The house is up a steep windy road on a hill. Working out where to park was a bit tricky, but we got there in the end and the view more than made up for any car confusion, it was just what we were hoping for.
The road up is definitely steep. And hard to park. But its a great location. Close to the cable cars. The house is kind of oddly decorated but was clean and loved the view from the table outside in the morning.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The view is lovely and looks just like the pictures in the listing. However, the interior is a little tired and could use some updating (bedding was a bit shabby and the toilet flush was temperamental). The place is up a very steep hill and on a narrow lane. There is NO parking—a rusted out Mini is blocking what would maybe be a driveway—and the street parking is not close and you have to get your tires up on a high curb. Not ideal if you have a car or a lot of luggage.
