Me and my sister had a great stay with Gina. Gina communicated quickly about all practical matters (from arriving to leaving). She was a gracious and agreeable host and made us feel welcome into her home (as did Bijou, who showed us around when we arrived!) The room was clean, neat and well suited for two guests, with a study desk and a refrigerator. The location of the apartment is impeccable for discovering the western parts of San Francisco, including Haight-Ashbury and Golden Gate Park, Land's end and Ocean beach. Cafés and restaurants and a nice old-time cinema make Balboa street a pleasant place to stay. Most parts of downtown SF is conveniently accessible by bus, and other parts not too long.
