We never met Irina, but her roommate Greg went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was comfortable and spacious, with all the amenities described. It is an old building though, with a few of the quirks and flaws that come with old age. The apartment is surrounded by a choice of restaurants, bars, and cafes, and we were able to walk to many touristic sights—Chinatown, Ghirardelli Square, Lombard St, etc. Thanks again, Greg & Irina!
