Thuy is an excellent hostess. She will make sure that she contacts you before your visit to make sure that you have everything that you need and that you know how the home can meet your needs. The house is very comfortable and has everything you will need to feel at home. Everything was very clean and the decor is very tasteful and simple. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated. There is an incredible selection of books for you to read. Thuy's daughter was available to make sure our needs were met. The neighborhood is very busy. If you are not used to living in a big city, this is your opportunity to experience an urban neighborhood. Numerous markets and small restaurants are within walking distance. I enjoyed checking these out. Parking is somewhat of an issue in that there is very limited street space and it's very tight getting in and out of the garage. However, Thuy and her daughter made sure that their garage was 100% available for us to use and this was an enormous help, especially since we had a large SUV. I highly recommend that you consider renting Thuy's home if you plan to visit San Francisco, especially if you are staying for a while. (Finally, and this is not any reflection on Thuy and her beautiful home, if you are visiting San Francisco, please heed the warnings you see posted to keep your belongings locked and out of site. If you can, travel in a car with a trunk, so thieves cannot see your stuff.)
