10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Handlery. Our room was lovely. The staff was very accommodating and there were several wonderful restaurants right around the corner. We found it very convenient for both Bart and Muni as we were going to the concert in Golden Gate Park I would most definitely stay there again"
