I felt very welcomed and enjoyed my visit. Their apartment is beautiful with wonderful art mostly done by Antigone's husband. My room was private with a locking door looking out on a lovely garden of plants on the emergency stairwell. Their unit is close enough to the Market street action (the Golden State Warriors won the tournament the first night I was there) for easy access, but far enough away to not be too loud at night. On Antigone's recommendation I tried the Mission Beach Cafe (14th and Guerrero) and it was delicious with very fresh ingredients.

Antigone and Victor were very hospitable. Victor played guitar and sang every evening and we had interesting conversations about art and education. They also provided granola and fruit--just what I wanted. Their small and timid dog was cute as much as I saw of it. I would highly recommend staying with them.
