We felt very welcome in Andy's house. It was just as described spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped with mod cons and great internet. Noe Valley is a family area and is very quiet and safe with good local shops and plenty of places to eat. The painted houses are very pretty. The commute to Fishermans Wharf via bus to Castro then muni and/or F car takes about 45mins or so. I would recommend to anyone coming for a short stay in San Francisco.
