I do not normally write review but decided to give it a shoot. I stayed with Melanie for about a month and I felt vey calm and relaxed at her house. She so kind that she let one of my co-worker stayed in the livingroom area for free of charge for a few days. To me, it's not the money but it's more of giving and consideration to other. She is giving person. Her place is very very close to Muni 38 bus stops right at her door so no worry about going to down town or financial district at all. Distance to downtown is about 40 minutes including bus waiting time. To pier 39 fishers wharf is roughly hour and half. Riding Muni is kind of fun so I hope all the guest enjoy the public transportation while you are in SF.
I am a true reviewer so I also have a review about negative about her place as well.
There is not much of night life around the neighborhood. You have to expect this because it is quiet town. You do not have much freedom if you are smoker because she does not like the smell of it. However, she may provide small backyard for smoking area for your own. You may find one beautiful flower when you walk down the stairs. That all I have to say.
Would I come back again here? You kidding me? I will come back here again to see Melanie and have another glass of wine.
