The room is light and comfortable and Lorraine is a friendly and helpful host.

The location is quiet for the middle of a city, away from the usual tourist zone, but convenient for the many attractions of Golden Gate Park, university and college campuses and Haight-Ashbury. Good bus lines take you to tourist attractions and more.

The room is quiet and the big windows get morning sun. Separate access makes it easy to come and go as you please. An electric kettle, microwave and small fridge let you have simple meals in if you choose, but there are local cafes and delis as well. No need to wash dishes, as Lorraine collects them and returns them clean. There is easy access to a laundry area.

Lorraine has good advice for places to see, places to eat and how to get around. I'm really glad I got a Clipper card for the buses as she recommended, which made getting around easy and economical.
