My stay at Therese and Nelson's place was absolutely perfect. Just the right place for me to stay as I sold my own house nearby and prepared for a long distance move.
Most of my interactions were with Therese, who really went out of her way to make sure I felt welcome and taken care of. She was very responsive by text and email and provided nearly instant information and support whenever I had any questions.
The place is exactly as it looks in the photos. It's clean, spacious and homey. Therese and Nelson have eclectic taste and it's reflected in some interesting art and other objects in the apartment, which make it even more interesting and comfortable.
I knew the neighborhood well, since I lived close by for 8 years. The house is a short walk to the shops on Cortland (maybe 5 blocks; it's uphill if that matters to you). And there are great informal restaurants nearby. One of the reasons I love this area of San Francisco is that we're at the cross-roads of 4 neighborhoods, each with a distinctly different "feel:" Bernal Heights, Glen Park, Noe Valley and The Mission. It's really easy to take advantage of the charms of each one.
I really enjoyed my stay in Therese and Nelson's place. They were terrific hosts and the place is lovely and well equipped.
