Had a great time staying with LJ and Lawrence, the place is very nice, in a nice neighboorhood, and downtown is only 3 subway stops away. There a quite a few bars, brunch places and nice parks around. Alamo quare with the "painted ladies" and also Golden Gate Park are easily reachable on foot, just to name a few. Generally a nice and safe area to just walk around.The bed is really comfortable, there is a fully equiped kitchen if you want to cook and a nice little garden. I would totally recommend staying here!
PS: Also, Lawrence does some really cool artwork on the side, don´t miss the chance to check it out by asking him to show you around his studio or online on www.suckatlife.com!
