Ponge Dindral was the ideal host, and his bed/bath accommodations suited us perfectly. Ponge was waiting for us when we arrived, made us welcome and comfortable, and was eager to share information about the city and the neighborhood. The room was quiet, cozy, and convenient, with every amenity we needed. The neighborhood was charming, with coffee shops, a grocery store, a laundromat, and a major bus route just a block or two away, and a park and a major thoroughfare a short walking distance. It was the perfect starting point for each day's walking adventures, which for us included both tourism (museums and such) as well as visiting family. We have been to San Francisco many times, have stayed in expensive hotels and modest motels, but Ponge's place was the best of all. We hope to go back soon!
