We found the book very helpful even if a bit outdated. It was very nice to meet both Gary and Rob in person. Nice to have a face to go with email. The apartment was great and we really enjoyed sitting out in the garden. The location could not have been any better. We totally enjoyed Exploring San Francisco from our "home" base. Great access to public transportation. The apartment turned out even better than it's description. We loved the neighborhood and hope we have the opportunity to come back sometime. Thanks to both of you.
