Rafe's place was very quiet and peaceful. The location was great, couldn't have asked for a more central place. It was just a short walking distance to the 24th street corridor and The Castro. You can also get around on Muni, there was a stop just steps way.
As stated - there is no kitchen, but it has an electric kettle for hot tea, a microwave for reheating takeout and a refrigerator to keep your drinks cool. There are lots of restaurants near by.
It was a bit chilly when I got there, but I found a small heather in the closet. With plenty of extra blankets it got quite cozy. I'll stay again at Rafe's place if given the opportunity, he was extremely responsive and friendly.
