I came to SF as a student in software engineering trying to kickstart my career. Lulu has been my SF mom over the past four months, cooking delicious dinners, sharing our ups and downs in life, and caring for me as a person. SF is an incredibly expensive city to live in and I am glad I was able to find a place I could call home for a reasonable price in one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city. Without such a safe, quiet, and comfortable room to return to every night after school, I believe I would have been far more stressed out than I was. Lulu goes to great lengths to keep the entire house pristine so as guests, we can always enjoy a clean space. Guests from all over the world (Argentina, Germany, China, and India just to name a few) and all walks of life stop by this house and share their stories at the dinner table, which is one of my favorite parts about living at the house. I have been able to make several good friends at Lulu's house and tons more connections. My room is pretty spacious for one person, with a queen-sized bed, large desk, and big closet with lots of compartments for storing belongings in addition to hanger space. And there is still enough room for me to lay out a yoga mat and stretch! West Portal Avenue/Muni Station is a 10 minute walk away. You can find a wide variety of restaurants and shops there. The muni station has three different lines that can take you to downtown, which is quite convenient. Staying at Lulu's house is a truly wonderful experience if you are visiting SF.
