Stayed with Melanie during the month of January and so enjoyed my time there. Melanie couldn't have been more gracious, generous and helpful. The apartment is lovely as described and provides guests with a comfortable, peaceful place to relax at the beginning and end end of the day (and any other time as well). Really felt like my home away from home. There are many beautiful walks nearby, including the historic Sutro Baths, coastal trails high and low, as well as walks through the less-developed western side of Golden Gate Park. Enjoyed them all. I purchased a Clipper Pass this trip and traveled around San Francisco by bus during most of my visit, which was really easy. Rarely waited more than five minutes for a bus on Geary, which is a short block away. From Geary there are endless connections to other parts of the city. There's a Walgreen's across the street from Melanie's, which is well-stocked with miscellaneous supplies and groceries--comes in handy. Other commercial areas are within walking distance, but not as convenient. Would recommend Melanie's accommodations to anyone without hesitation. Thanks so much, Melanie. Hope to return soon.
