We very much enjoyed staying at Emily's place. It was super convenient for us, as relatives live nearby, and having Golden Gate Park virtually across the street was a lovely bonus. We knew going in that this was a residential neighborhood, and if really close restaurants and bars is your goal, this may not right part of the city for you, but is is neat as a pin, bed is comfortable, and the hot water for the shower is abundant . We felt safe, secure and welcome... Extra bonus...Emily's Mom grows beautiful flowers.
