Monica was friendly and welcomed me into her home. She was very knowledgeable about the area and what was going on in San Fran on the days I was there. She mainly left me to myself, which I prefer, but one time I mentioned I was cold after being on the coast all day without a coat, she was so lovely and made me some herbal tea and brought it to my room. The room is exactly as advertised: small with a twin bed, which was perfect for me. Also please know that it is THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED IN THE WORLD. On the first night I slept for 12 hours. I have no idea how that happened. The room is very very quiet too, you do not hear anything from the street. The main reason for me choosing this place was because it was walkable distance to a couple of parks and the Golden Gate Bridge. The area is super safe with good restaurants, supermarkets and laundromats on the next road.
