good call on the Inn at Occidental. i recommend this charming b&b to everyone i know who plans on visiting the area. the parents of my good friend in san francisco own the Inn at Occidental and are the nicest people ever- which is completely reflected in their welcoming charm and hospitality. And the breakfast is totally worth leaving the cosiness of each cleverly decorated bedroom!
Very good suggestions, I’m going to bookmark this and come back to it. I’m curious if you have any follow ups to this post?
I recently came across this blog and have enjoyed the information. I look forward to future articles and will definitely link to this and tell the people I know. Thanks.
You seem to know a lot about this. This is good blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
