The Golden Gate Hotel in San Francisco, California, near Union Square. It's a super-charming, family-run bed and breakfast.

Dear Sudie,

Your tiny kitchen looks great and cozy.

I also have a space problem with a small galley kitchen, 6x5 overall that at present has full-size appliances. It doesn't work well since that I'm constantly wasting time moving things around to find space on the floor and the little counterspace I have, even with covers for the sink. It has a 25-year old Italian gas cooktop that looks impressive, but has never worked. In the next few months, I hope to change everything with better-proportioned and functional appliances, like yours. I'm also looking at Summit, so it was nice to see you really like your range and fan.

Just wondering if your Summit range fan is vented to the outside or are you getting those good results with a circulated vent system? Is it noisy because of the power or is the fan high enough to be not overwhelming?

Thanks,
Shmarte
