Tom was a great host. He personally greeted and presented us with a welcoming bottle of wine - plus there were some snacks in the room. We thought the room was spacious and were pleasantly surprised to find a bidet toilet.
We had no problem parking our car nearby, and Tom's home is easy walking distance to public transportation. It does, however, take an hour to get downtown or to many other attractions in the City. We liked Tom's suggestion for dinner at nearby Thanh Long. Also, enjoyed our morning beach walk with breakfast at the Beach Chalet Restaurant. Taking a SF City Guides Walking Tour in Golden Gate Park was one of our favorite activities.
