Brenda was very welcoming and willing to meet me earlier than normal check-in time. She had lists of local favorite restaurants for me and a map and umbrella for me to use. The house was beautiful and looked exactly like the pictures. The neighborhood is great, there is a lot of food and shopping close by. There is Whole Food, Safeway, and Bi-Rite close by for anything you might need in addition to many small retail stores and boutiques. There is ample public transportation near by and I was able to get everywhere I wanted to go using Muni.
