Elena is truly a perfect hostess. She was kind and attentive but also made us feel more like roommates rather than guests (which is what I wanted!). After two months of staying with her, I am happy to call her a friend. She kept the apartment clean and provided most amenities that I needed. The apartment itself is also in an excellent location! It was walking distance from public transit (that would get you to downtown SF in around 20 minutes), a few blocks away from shops, restaurants and markets, and in a safe and lively part of SF. I'm so happy I decided to stay with Elena, and I recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay in SF. She has great reviews for a reason!
