...beds, fresh flowers and fresh-baked croissants, and the willingness of most hosts to book theater tickets and advise on restaurants and bus routes. At the Bed and Breakfast Inn, a decanter of sherry sits invitingly in the dining room and fortune cookies appear on each guest's pillow at night. At the Spreckels Mansion, a colonial revival house saved from destruction two years ago by San Francisco Fashion Designer Jonathan Shannon and Architectural Restorer Jeffrey Ross, guests gather each evening before the library fireplace for drinks on the house...
