We had a great stay with Dorothy. As other reviewers have noted, she strikes the perfect balance between being accommodating but also respectful of your privacy. Her place is located close to public transit--an easy 15 minute bus ride to downtown--and just steps away from the myriad of coffee shops and restaurants on commercial drive (be sure to check out Little Italy!). The apartment itself is clean and quiet with a number of nice touches (we especially appreciated the ground coffee and coffee maker). It's situated a little farther from the airport (approx. 30 minutes driving or 1 hour via public transit), so just be sure to factor that into your travel plans. We would happily stay with Dorothy again!
