Jan's place is located in the Mission District so prepare to eat your way through the neighborhood. It is surrounded and I do mean surrounded by pretty much all the bus, train, rails BART and every public transport line there is available in San Francisco. Walk a couple of blocks or even around the corner and you have access to transport to take you all over the city.
The apartment itself is on the second floor of the building and spotless clean.
Our room had all the necessities, and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom also was spotless clean. Jan has a drying warming towel rack. Who doesn't love warm fluffy towels?
I had warned Jan about arriving a bit late, we landed in SFO at 10 pm and we missed the train and then walked in the wrong direction when we made it to the Mission and Jan was kindly waiting for us downstairs at 11:50 almost midnight! We were very appreciative.
Jan has a beautiful and cozy home, lots of art and pictures to look at. Jan herself is a great host. She was very welcoming but not intrusive at all and we had a couple of nights where we sat down to watch TV with her and another one of her guests and had a great conversation about each other's life and travel and the city of San Francisco.
For the animal lover, you cannot go wrong staying with Jan and enjoying the lovely Thriller. He spent a couple of hours napping on my husband's lap and purring like a little engine. I was so jealous.
We loved the city, spent an amazing time at Jan's and when we visit again we hope to get to stay there again.
