Valeria was kind and attentive, even when we did dumb things like lock ourselves out. The place was comfortable and warm, while the neighborhood had a great supply of restaurants and cafes — we liked Muguboka (Korean), Cinderella (Russian bakery), and The Richfield (coffee, up on California St). Proximity to Safeway (groceries) and Golden Gate Park are also huge boons. Bus service is frequent on Geary and will get you to the beach or downtown in a reasonable amount of time.
