We used Valeria's apartment as a base for exploring the less touristy part of San Francisco. This area is also our favorite being close to Clement Street and Golden Gate Park as well as the Presidio.
Clement Street is a great restaurant street especially small inexpensive asian places. Golden Gate Park is a vast world famous space that spreads down to the Pacific Ocean and the Presidio is a former military post that has been open to the public for many years.

We enjoyed our home away from home as it was quiet and private and Valeria was warm and very friendly.
