We shopped for the fabrics together and shared many pictures and ideas. She was very helpful. I went to many fittings to her cozy place, where she was a great host and made me feel really welcomed. I loved every fitting where I could see more and more how my dress was coming along.

Besides the amenities, the location just can’t be beat. The Mission is a fantastic local neighborhood with rich culture and some fantastic places to eat. El Metate was great. We like to eat at good beer restaurants when we’re out, so The Monk’s Kettle off Valencia was a short trip and was excellent.

I thoroughly enjoyed a deep-tissue massage and facial here. My masseuse (Holly) was personable yet still maintained a relaxed, professional air and worked my boulder-esque neck with aplomb. I asked for a “lite” facial owing to my sensitive skin, and my aesthetician complied and spent more time with some gentle herbs and massaging which was perfect.
