We loved staying at Cindi's place! We were in town to go to a NFL game in Oakland, CA. Cindi is a great host and you can’t beat her location. Her condo is on a quiet (and safe) street but close to the water, the Golden Gate Bridge and a bunch of shops and restaurants on Chestnut St. There is also a deli around the corner (stop by there for a breakfast burrito!) as well as a small grocery store. Her place is very clean, and the bedroom is well organized and felt quite roomy for my boyfriend and I. Cindi is extremely approachable and available if you need but also gave us space when we wanted.
While we were in SF, we enjoyed walking down to Chestnut St to check out the restaurant and shops (especially Delarosa for their happy hour, pizza and aperol spritz). Her place is also very close to a few bike rentals – we ended up picking Golden Gate Bridge Bike Rentals for the proximity and great reviews. There are more at Fisherman’s Wharf and near the Ferry Building but it was nice to have a place within walking distance from her place. We rode our bikes across Golden Gate Bridge and made a short detour to the Palace of Fine Arts – photos don’t do it justice it was definitely more impressive in person. There is also a hop-on hop-off bus stop right by the bike rental place (i.e. walking distance from Cindi’s.). We mostly walked or used Ubers to get around but there is a MUNI and Golden Gate Transit bus stop close by to her place.
I’d highly recommend staying with Cindi if you plan on visiting SF and I would definitely consider staying with her again, if/when I make it back out there!
