Judy's place is perfect for those who want to stay close to the action yet have all the peace and quiet of a residential neighborhood. It's on top of a hill in Noe Valley ( I get the irony of that). Its a quintessentially San Fran house and as a guest you get to use the entire first floor (with a lovely garden outside). Judy was a very helpful host who greeted us at the door and left us plenty of snacks. She also has a list of awesome restaurants/coffee shop recommendations in the Noe Valley area, some of which we tried. Street parking was easy to find since, though public transportation is close by. I highly recommend this place.
