Cathryn's place was everything we could have hoped for. My boyfriend and I just relocated from Ireland, and she made us feel extremely comfortable and welcomed us with open arms. We were somewhat untypical guests (tons of luggage / bike boxes / coming to and from the house at random times), but Cathryn was very flexible and easy to work with. We felt right at home - the bed was super comfortable, there were plenty of resources for the local area, and the house is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. It is on quite a hill so be prepared for a bit of a workout walking home! Cathryn is a warm and friendly host and I would highly recommend staying at her home for your time in SF. Nothing to complain about!
