We had a wondeful stay at Joel & Mel's place. Mel was always available to answer all our questions before and after our arrival, ranging from order deliveries, where to do grocery shopping to using their laundry machine. After 11-hour flight, switching between BART and MUNI lines and getting our luggage up the hill, there was nothing more soothing than the amazing view from their terrace and fresh fruits and cheese they left for us in the fridge ! They provided us with the coffee pads, tea bags, Ghiradelli chocolate for the whole week ...! The description of their place is accurate to the tiniest point. Their garden is just beautiful and we loved seeing squirrels and hummingbirds buzzing around. One thing you must know if you're coming in the beginning of June : San Francisco becomes the real Fog City and this is particularly true for the Forest Hill microclimate : mornings and evenings can be quite chilly and foggy, while there is a stark sunshine and higher temperatures in downtown at the same time. Luckily there was a fireplace and cashmere blanket at Mel's place to warm us up !
