The check-in went OK and Vivian was friendly. The apartment was as described (no stove, only microwave) and we had a good time there. The garden was a plus and makes the place very kid-friendly. The area is nice, with the Golden Gate Park nearby. Geary has several shops and restaurants, we especially enjoyed the cafe Enchante. Bus 38 runs very frequently and takes you downtown in half an hour.

On the minus side, there was rather a lot of noise from the children upstairs.
