Garland’s place was absolutely lovely. Everywhere in SF is pretty spread out and you need to drive or take a bus everywhere, so it really wasn’t an issue that Portola wasn’t downtown. Everything I needed to figure out about the apartment was clearly labeled with notes and instructions. The place was clean and a nice area to do work during the day. Garland also left us a bunch of snacks, multiple Keurig coffee pods, and labeled fresh milk and OJ, which for a group on a budget was a great touch. There is a grocery store right next door so we were able to do some cooking at home. Overall great experience, very affordable, excellent value.
