My husband and I enjoyed staying at Vanick's house! It was in a quiet area, our car was safely parked all weekend (not having to worry about tickets, etc. was fabulous!) We got a lot of exercise walking down in to the Castro and beyond. Additionally he gave us suggestions for places to try in the area- the ones we took were truly gems. Also, the bed was the most comfortable thing on this planet! We slept great after our long journeys in the city!
