We've departed from the tranquil theme of the bedroom and the contemporary theme of the bath, to focus more on travel. The earthy character of the rattan chaise, table and sleeper sofa contrast nicely with the silver elements drawn into the mix by the drapery, rug, and television. Since the rental is in an urban location, the theme evolved into what I describe as "down to earth luxe", a bit of luxury that doesn't intimidate guests. Hopefully the basketry will encourage thoughts of travel to other cultures with the collection composed of basketry made in six different countries as diverse as China, Colombia, and Africa. To further that aim, our collection of Rick Steve's travel CD's are available on request. Lights are set to make the sofa with foot rest the perfect place for reading. The cookbooks are all related to San Francisco restaurants and other food venues.
This is also our entertainment area where our guests are able to watch high definition cable television, or Netflix. Radio channels start on channel 901 of the television, while the Hi-Def channels are in the 700's. We also have a board game or two available and guide books of San Francisco written in French and Italian. We can easily go over the remote control usage to avert some late night frustration.
Sleeper sofa? Yes, we do not advertise that we have one, because this unit is comfortable for two, manageable for three and impossible for four people to share. However, if two friends are traveling together and do not wish to sleep in the same bed, there is an alternative. Once the sleeper sofa has been opened, the secondary egress is blocked, so we insist that it be closed each morning and reopened each night. If needed, we can provide assistance. Because of expensive fabrics and the rug used in this area, we ask guests to confine eating and drinking to the table provided in the unit and another in the patio.
