I had a great and very enjoyable stay at Chez Gilmar. Gilmar is an excellent, attentive host. He helped me with every little thing I needed to be comfortable. The neighborhood is fantastic: close to the cafes and restaurants on Chenery street at the heart of the Glen Park neighborhood, which has the true old San Francisco feel to it. At the same time Noe Valley is right on the other side of the hill. You can choose between BART and J train as you please. The bike ride to the heart of SOMA IT business district is 30 minutes, and very pleasant.
