We stayed four nights in Cristina’s apartment, and used it as a base camp to explore the city before I move there. It was in the perfect location! The area was so pretty, we enjoyed walking to drinks in the Castro, brunch in Noe Valley and even to the de Young. When we did take public transportation, it was a short walk to Muni, and several busses dropped off within feet of the front door. Keyless entry was seamless and the apartment was exactly as advertised and easily spacious enough for two. You are right on a busy street, but Cristina provides a white noise machine that does the trick. Cristina was a great host, and extremely responsive. I would absolutely use it as a basecamp again, or send visiting friends Christina’s way.
