I’ve been to SF many times over the years, but never really explored the Potrero Hill neighborhood. Put simply, it’s quaint, quiet, sunny and hilly (living up to its name), but restaurants like Chez Maman on 18th St and other small shops and cafes in the vicinity make it worth the time to take in the surroundings on foot (and you can get in a workout for your quads as part of the bargain).
Terri’s place is the perfect way to experience the neighborhood. There are spectacular views of the city from her kitchen — you can literally watch the fog burn off in the morning, and roll in at night — and the entire apartment is spacious and comfortable enough to make for a perfect “home base” to explore other parts of the city. You’re not far from the Mission District, Haight-Ashbury, Chinatown — all the key areas you want to see if you’re in SF for a short stay. Plus, if you just want to relax, Terri has an impressive record and book collection to keep you entertained! I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here. We’re very happy with our experience — Terri is a conscientious and attentive host to boot — and we’re looking forward to the next time.
