Was very much against staying at a homestay until i stayed with Shay and Ginger. Could not recommend them enough!! They were so accommodating to any questions or issues we had and were genuinely some of the nicest people i've ever met. For the price you cannot go wrong, room is super clean, smells amazing and they have any necessity you might need. To top it all off the location could not be better, right off the main strip but in a quiet cosy street.

The property manager was so easy to get ahold of, even late at night which was very helpful for answering any questions we had about the property. Also the management team was incredibly considerate and accommodating - we had initially booked the villa for another date but couldn’t make it due to a medical emergency and the management team rescheduled our stay free of cost.

I liked that it was close to the village. The room was ok. The bathroom was scary. It was old and rundown. There was no way i would ever shower in there. It looked dangerous. Seems like it would not be legal with all the piping everywhere. The window screens were broken. It was super rustic and i thought way over-priced. It was clean and host was responsive. Rustic is not for me. Lesson learned.

The location for a few days in San Francisco is great. Brisbane is a nice small village just on the outskirts of SF - there is a nice well stocked grocery.

We stayed in the yurt village and it was such a beautiful little get away. The yurt was extremely comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. There’s a river that my son enjoyed playing in and it’s only a 10 min drive to Yosemite.
