Noreen has a lovely home but to be honest if you are wanting a real San Fran experience this is the place and the area. We ate and drank at a number of fantastic places in Geary Street - a five walk from Noreens home. We trekked the local streets, enjoyed the incredible homes, walk to beaches and mixed with the locals. Great time and it really made our trip away from the plastic of Fishmans Wharf. Easy access into town on the trolley bus and only a $20 taxi fare home if needed. Oh one last thing...great beds and incredible sleep.
