Ivan and Wendy have a beautiful apartment with a wonderful sunny room just off the ever more trendy and arts-and-crafty Valencia street. The only problem is that the apartment is so beautiful you feel you never want to leave, and the neighborhood is so much fun you never want to see the rest of San Francisco. Seriously, Ivan and Wendy were always friendly and warm and had many good suggestions about where to go and what to see of the kind you can only learn from living ten or fifteen years in the city. When I left some of my stuff behind Ivan was kind enough to send it to me, and when I first arrived he was ready with a smile and a drink.
