Brenda was the most gorgeous host - friendly, warm, welcoming and helpful. For example she lent me an umbrella for a rainy day and even left me an NYC metro pass she had so I had a card to start with when I arrived there!
The photos very accurately describe Brenda's space and Castro is a great location within walking distance from downtown SF. I enjoyed the yoga nearby and there is also a whole foods and Safeway easily accessible, as well as the nightlife in Mission and Haight. If you stay with Brenda there is a great restaurant called Frances just around the corner...
Brenda's place is a wonderful landing spot for San Francisco and she is a warm and lovely host, highly recommend staying with her and would do so again myself.
