Noe Valley is a great part of San Francisco. There are plenty of very good restaurants, a Whole Foods, and mass transit within a short walk. The house was large and spacious for the 5 of us who stayed there. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were clean & the kitchen was well equipped.The weather was gorgeous during our stay and we really enjoyed the back deck and yard. Irene was a great host. She showed us all the features of the house and then let us enjoy our stay in San Francisco! I would definitely stay there again.
