We didn't know where to stay in San Francisco but were really delighted with Pacific Heights, which has good public transport routes to the main tourist areas and has really excellent restaurants within walking distance. Ron's old-style house is typical of the area, and has the added benefit of a garage as parking can be difficult. Ron gave us a great welcome and was always around for advice. He was particularly helpful in finding me a dentist that was open on a Saturday. The room was at the back of the house, so quiet. It was also very spacious and the bed comfortable. Helpful notes on where to visit in the area were left on a table in the bedroom. We also had the use of a sitting room (which we did not use). Coffee was always available in the kitchen. For anyone worried about having a dog in the house - don't be! Quincy is a very peaceful dog and you hardly know that he is there. We had a great 3-night stay. Many thanks Ron!
