Everything about this place was perfect. It was spacious, clean and well-stocked with everything a traveler needs. The bed was more comfortable than any of the four I have at home. And what can I say about the view?

Imagine a picture window spanning the length of the apartment looking out over the city, the bay and the bridges. If this view were available at a hotel, you'd be paying $800 a night easily.

Gaylene is the perfect host. Not only did she stock the refrigerator for me --- and leave a bottle of wine and a bar of chocolate, but she also let me use her road bike to get to a from my conference at the Embarcadero (a 12-15 minute ride north on 3rd Ave).

As the other reviewers mentioned, the apartment is only a few blocks away for the train taking you into SF.

I felt like I was getting away with something staying at Gaylene's. I ended paying $95 a night for three nights. A moderately priced hotel in the city was quoting me $1,195 for the same stay.

Book this place. You won't regret it.
