We cannot sing praises loudly enough for Terry's place. It is THE perfect spot for exploring San Francisco. It is so close to the great local districts of Haight Ashbury, the Castro and the Mission District and an easy bus ride down town and to the Bay (easy bus system to use too). The place is amazing - very comfortable and well set up - we wanted for nothing. It was also lovely and cool to retreat to on hot days and had a well stocked kitchen for us to cook in to help save some money. It is surrounded by all the things you need when travelling: great cafes, laundromats, whole food and grocery stores. And the streets are absolutely gorgeous - we just loved walking around the neighbourhood and local parks. Terry is the perfect host - nearby if anything goes wrong but very respectful of privacy. I can't recommend it highly enough.
